Die Chemie beschäftigt sich mit den Bausteinen und Stoffen, aus denen unsere Welt besteht. Sie untersucht deren Aufbau und Eigenschaften, ihre Verwandlungen und ihr Potenzial, neue Verbindungen einzugehen.

What are the main areas of study?

The main modules in chemistry studies are mostly inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry. In addition, there are modules such as biology, analytical chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science. Chemistry is also a ""practical"" science with a high proportion of laboratory work. The goal is a solid basic knowledge of the natural sciences. The basics can be supplemented with diverse specializations.

How long does a chemistry degree take?

Depending on the field of study or type of school, the duration of the training differs. The bachelor's degree can be completed full-time or part-time model and usually lasts between 6-10 semesters. If one still wants to follow the master afterwards, this takes another 4 semesters.
