What you will study

Chemistry is the science behind reactions – from quiet changes to loud bangs and funny smells. As a largely experimental science, chemistry connects theoretical concepts with hands-on laboratory work.

Career pathways

Depending on the chosen option, the degree programme provides a sound basis for career paths in both science and education. When choosing teaching-related courses, students can opt for a Master of Education after their Bachelor's thesis (in one of the two main subjects) and then qualify for a “Referendariat” (practical training phase for teacher education) – and thus for a position in secondary schools.
