Chemistry, B.Sc.
In the study program Bachelor of Science (BSc) Chemistry, the students are given a fundamental knowledge of chemical issues in the widest possible breadth as a basis for the continuing Master's programs. On the one hand, this includes the classical disciplines of inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry, each of which includes a basic and an advanced module, but also analytical chemistry, biochemistry and theoretical chemistry. In most of the modules, in addition to theoretical events (lectures, seminars, exercises), chemical laboratory practicals are also provided in which the learned material is used in practical experiments. In addition, students acquire useful additional qualifications in the fields of toxicology, legal studies and other optional subjects for the profession of chemist.

| Application | winter semester until 31.05, summer semester until 30.11 |
The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application until 30.11Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
