About this programme

Students will expand and deepen their knowledge in the three topic areas: Inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry. They will strengthen their specialised knowledge in a topic area in chemistry of their own choice or gain cross-cutting qualifications by taking non-chemistry modules. They will become familiar with the terminologies and special aspects of chemistry, its strengths and limitations, and will be able to apply their knowledge to new issues and situations, even in an interdisciplinary context. They will gain knowledge and practical skills relating to the current state of research in selected fields. They will be able to analyse chemical issues and assess them critically, to develop independent solution strategies, and to estimate their impacts in a wider context. The Master's programme focuses on the current state of research on concepts and experimental and theoretical methods by which the structure and behaviour of atoms, molecules, and solids can be examined, described, and predicted, complex molecules can be synthesised, and associations of molecules analysed. The programme includes both theoretical and instrumental methods of analytical proof and explanation of structures as well as the theoretical background necessary to understand and apply them. Research projects give students the opportunity to apply the latest research methods and concepts to current research topics being examined in working groups. The programme's elective modules pro
