Contents of the Study

The program is internationally oriented, research-oriented, and English-language. The Master's program introduces advanced spectroscopic methods and focuses on the structure of chemical and biochemical molecules, particularly biopolymers.

Structure of the Study

The study consists of a compulsory section with a scope of 20 credits. Four modules from the sub-areas of Inorganic, Organic, Analytical, and Physical or Theoretical Chemistry must be completed.

Special Features

• English-language program
• A stay abroad is possible
• Broad range of options for studying chemical subjects and more interdisciplinary specialization directions

Career Prospects

The goal of the study is to impart broad, application-ready knowledge. This will enable graduates to work in many areas, such as:

• Industry, particularly in branches of chemistry, but also physical industry, optics, medical technology, and scientific instrument manufacturing
• Research institutions outside of universities and state institutions
• As chemists at universities and colleges in research and teaching

Practical Training and Study Abroad

A stay abroad is generally recommended and must be organized by the students themselves.
