BA Chemistry (polyvalent dual major) at University of Freiburg

Chemistry explores the structure, properties, and targeted conversion of substances. The polyvalent Bachelor’s programme focuses on solid chemical knowledge, practical laboratory work, and subject-specific teaching skills. The programme provides a broad scientific education in key areas of chemistry, including inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry.

Faculty: Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy  |  Duration: 6 semesters  |  Study mode: full-time; German-taught  |  Intake: Winter Semester  |  Location: Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

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.
