BSc Chemistry at University of Stuttgart

Chemistry is the science of substances and their transformations. Chemistry makes it possible to understand scientific phenomena, create new substances, be creative, and tackle the important problems facing humanity: For example, the skills and knowledge of chemists are needed to develop new medicines, new textiles and materials, or new batteries for energy supply. A degree in chemistry combines experimental and theoretical learning in a unique way.

Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time, German-taught  |  Intake: Winter semester  |  Location: Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

What you will study

During the first semester, you take lectures, seminars, and practical sessions in physics, mathematics, and general chemistry. A practical course teaches you the basic techniques and skills needed for laboratory work. In this course, teaching focuses on important separation methods and initial experiments.

Career pathways

Chemistry graduates are highly sought after in numerous sectors, as chemistry underpins the development of many innovative materials. While many chemists start their careers in industry, other opportunities also exist: Research institutions (like Max Planck or Fraunhofer Institutes), the public sector (such as environmental or forensic agencies, government offices), or independent work (for example, as a consultant or patent attorney).
