University of Paris 7
German and French
30 June for the following winter semester
Our Bachelor's programme pursues a profound education in chemistry. The basic education given in this course is especially interesting for the French participants, as the first three semesters at the University of Paris 7 will give them a broader knowledge in chemistry, physics, biology, informatics, and geosciences, whereas the education in the German-French Bachelor's programme will allow them to specialise further in chemistry (inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry).
This programme is geared towards high school graduates who are interested in specialised studies in chemistry from the beginning of their studies, as this is not possible in France.
After the participants have spent three semesters in Bielefeld and have gained a broad knowledge of physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry as well as biochemistry, they complete their studies in Paris. There they are able to benefit from the excellence of the UFR de Chimie at Paris 7. Participants will gain detailed knowledge of theoretical, physical, and inorganic chemistry as well as biochemistry.
The Bachelor's thesis is written in the sixth semester. The thesis can be written at the University of Bielefeld or at the University of Paris 7.
The Bachelor's programme is divided into two consecutive phases of three semesters each. The first semester will be held in Bielefeld while the final semester is in Paris.
Students will start in Bielefeld by attending lecture courses on theory and practical experience of "Allgemeine Chemie" (basic chemistry), mathematics and physics in the first and second semesters. Students will receive 40 ECTS for attending "Allgemeine Chemie", 10 ECTS for mathematics, and 10 ECTS for physics. In "Allgemeine Chemie", the students will learn about inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. In the third semester, the participants will broaden their knowledge in organic chemistry (12 ECTS). Biochemistry is another obligatory lecture course (5 ECTS). In the third semester, the students have the opportunity to choose between courses in bioinorganic and physical chemistry (5 ECTS each). Students will be credited with 8 ECTS for the Individual Supplementary Study Module. In this module, students can choose seminars from any other subject at the university, e.g. improving their language skills or taking part in biology courses.
In Paris, students will deepen their knowledge in physical, theoretical, and inorganic chemistry (15 ECTS in the fourth and fifth semesters, 12 ECTS in the sixth semester). In addition, the participants will prepare their Bachelor's theses (15 ECTS). Students have to select from courses in environmental chemistry, analytic chemistry, theoretical chemistry, materials science, and pharmaceutical chemistry (12 ECTS). Students will be given 6 ECTS for the Individual Supplementary Study Module. Obligatory language courses (6 ECTS) are offered in the fourth and fifth semesters, where students may choose from English, German, and French.
Internships are an obligatory part of the curriculum.

Basically, international students are allowed to work parallel to their studies for 120 full days or 240 half days per year without a work permit once they have successfully completed preparations for their studies and started a course.
A limited number of jobs are available at the university; however, jobs for students can also be found in companies in and around Bielefeld.
In Bielefeld, a broad range of accommodation options can be found at affordable prices. Halls of residence are run by the public "Studierendenwerk" or private organisations.
Additionally, single apartments and rooms in shared flats with other students are available. The rent for a room in Bielefeld amounts to about 180 to 300 EUR per month. The International Office supports students who are searching for accommodation.
