Chemistry (Bachelor of Science)

About

With a Bachelors degree in Chemistry, graduates are qualified to enter the labour market. An alternative is to transfer to a Masters degree programme. In the first semesters of the Bachelors degree programme, students are given a theoretical and practical grounding in analytical, inorganic, organic, physical and technical chemistry. During the first two semesters in particular, students also take a wide range of subsidiary subjects, such as mathematics and physics, as well as toxicology and law for chemical scientists at a later stage. In addition, students can specialise in a compulsory elective area of their choice (Biochemistry, Food Chemistry, Theoretical Chemistry, Quantum Theory or Protein Chemistry) and take optional subjects (foreign languages, courses for relevant computer programmes). Practical training features strongly in our Chemistry degree programmes. About half of the time is devoted to free and structured practical work. Industrial experience outside the university is not required. Study abroad is not compulsory, but may be undertaken within the EU Erasmus Programme, for example.

For studying chemistry, a basic knowledge of natural sciences (especially physics) and mathematics is required. Students of chemistry should enjoy experimenting; they should also not be frightened of handling chemicals, and should possess a certain degree of manual dexterity. They should also be capable of coordinating their time-consuming degree programme with their other interests.
Foreign language skills are recommended (English), but not essential.

Career

Chemistry graduates work in industry and public administration, at higher education institutions and research centres. In industry, their tasks may involve developing new chemical products, testing whether production is environmentally friendly, and planning large plants and factories. In the public sector, chemical scientists monitor the quality of food and basic commodities. They also examine fertilisers and cosmetics, investigate how polluted the environment is, and monitor the correct recycling and treatment of waste.

At the end of the online application, you will automatically be forwarded to a cover letter (the so-called application for enrollment). Sign this application for enrollment (handwritten or digital) and put it together with the required documents into one PDF document, which you can then upload using the upload link provided. The required documents include your qualification for admission to higher education (e.g. Abitur) and any other supporting documents such as practical training certificates or evidence of language proficiency. We also need proof of your health insurance and evidence that you have paid the semester fee. At the end of the online application, all required documents are listed and must be uploaded as a scan of the original documents by September 30th, 11:59 p.m. Please do not forget to upload your photo for the LeibnizCard . You can find information on this in the application for enrollment at the end of the online application. In September, you will receive your enrolment documents, an invitation to the welcome event for new students and information about any preparatory courses that may be offered. Please note that some degree programmes offer preparatory courses well before term starts.
