Chemistry - Dual-Subject Bachelor
As a chemistry student, you will receive a broad education in the core chemical subjects of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, which will prepare you specifically for further lectures and study projects for your desired qualification goal. With five specialist professorships and one didactics professorship, the chemistry department is manageable with a pleasant, informal working atmosphere.
In the dual-subject Bachelor, you study two core subjects or combine a major subject with a minor subject. Chemistry is offered as a major, core and minor subject. Please note the valid subject combinations.
If you wish to work as a secondary school teacher, you must follow your Bachelor's degree with the Master of Secondary Education (Gymnasium). You can find all information on the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs under Chemistry - Secondary Teacher Education (Gymnasium).

In the Chemistry-Nanosciences version, the degree course leads you directly to the Master's degree course in Nanosciences - Materials, Molecules and Cells and the opportunity to go on to study for a doctorate.
In addition to the traditional fields of work, Bachelor's graduates can also find employment in scientific journalism, scientific publishing or public relations.
With the Master's degree in Nanosciences - Materials, Molecules and Cells, which follows on from the Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, you can take on tasks in research and development, production, materials testing, sales, consulting and patents related to new, improved materials in industry, service companies, academic research and the public sector.

Chemistry is offered as a major, core and minor subject as part of the dual-subject Bachelor's degree program and must be combined with another subject. Here you will find an overview of the valid subject combinations.
During your studies, you will not only focus on your two chosen subjects, but also supplement them with interdisciplinary professional skills development content. Depending on whether you are aiming for a Master's degree in teaching, a specialist Master's degree or immediate employment after completing your Bachelor's degree, a different profile will apply to you.
