Chemistry and Management

The Chemistry and Management pathway combines a broad scientific and methodological education in Chemistry with advanced basic knowledge in Management. Graduates of this programme are a great match for professional positions that require chemical expertise as well as management skills. The Bachelor’s programme therefore teaches the scientific and methodological fundamentals of Chemistry. It combines theory with hands-on experimental experiences in the core disciplines of Chemistry (Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry). Interdisciplinary basics in subjects like Experimental Physics and Mathematics as well as Law and Toxicology complement the fundamental Chemistry education. Additionally, students obtain fundamental knowledge in Business Management, Macroeconomics, Accounting, Investment and Controlling as well as other disciplines which they can choose freely. The Bachelor’s examination assesses the students’ acquired technical knowledge required for an early transition into a professional career and also their understanding of the fundamental correlations in their subject.

Accreditation The degree programmes in Chemistry are accredited by independent consultants, ensuring a high quality of teaching in all our courses. Interdisciplinarity The Faculty of Natural Sciences unites competences in the MINT areas under one roof and maintains excellent contacts to affiliated institutes as well as external research facilities. Particularly involved in study and teaching are the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research and the Helmholtz Institute with its outstanding research in the areas of electrochemistry and energy technology. We also collaborate closely with other faculties and departments, the Engineering Sciences and Economics in particular. Excellence teaching We pride ourselves in providing the best possible education and care for our students and complement certain lectures in the Bachelor's programme with additional support offers like classes and tutorials. Regular evaluations by the students provide valuable feedback on how well we are doing. Quality, not quantity Manageable student numbers and a favourable student to teacher ratio ensure that you don’t have to complete your degree in a setting of educational mass production. We guarantee a laboratory place for every student in every laboratory course to avoid unnecessary elongation of your overall study time. A personal atmosphere and direct contact with your teachers complete our ideal learning conditions. Networks and business contacts We offer you a practice-relevant education with numerous well established contacts to local businesses as well as many application-oriented research projects, some of which are conducted directly on the University’s doorstep in the renowned companies and research facilities of the Science City Ulm. Training camp for new students Before the beginning of every winter semester we offer the tutorial ’Fit for Chemistry’ to our new students in courses of Life Sciences as part of the University Training Camp. Attractive career prospects Our graduates have excellent chances on the job market. This is partly owed to the fact that Chemistry is most important to our daily lives in many aspects and is therefore a driving force in the big challenges of our time. Another factor is the accredited high-quality education with all its possibilities to establish a specialised profile in areas of expertise with great importance to the future.
