Graduates of the Master’s degree programme in chemistry have a broad command of theoretical and practical fundamentals and corresponding knowledge of methods and material. They are able to address topics in the field of chemistry with a critical eye and in a scientifically sound manner. They can also solve tasks independently and work in an interdisciplinary capacity, thereby contributing to development in this field. At the same time, graduates can recognise the relevance of scientific fields closely related to chemistry and use these effectively. In addition to subject-specific skills, graduates also possess key qualifications relevant to their profession, such as communication skills, teamwork, effective project planning and work organisation.
Students of this degree programme graduate with the academic title "Master of Science", giving them a good basis for pursuing further qualifications, in particular doctoral studies. This will increase their chances of starting an independent and self-directed profession. Following the tradition of our university, our professors maintain contacts with leading chemical companies in Germany, especially for your benefit.
Graduates possess the in-depth specialist knowledge required for professional practice, understand interdisciplinary links and are qualified for highly specialised activities, for example, working at teaching and research institutions, in industry and with public authorities.
