Master of Science [M.S] [Chemistry] From University of Duisburg-Essen

The master’s program has the task of enabling students to independently apply scientific methods in chemistry in theory and experiment. The basis for this is laid in the bachelor's degree, where the students are taught a technical system and acquire the ability to recognize interdisciplinary relationships.

In the master’s degree, students are enabled to work independently using modern scientific methods. They have to be able to recognize and describe difficult and also non-illustrative chemical and medical-biological-chemical relationships. In addition, during their studies, students also acquire general qualifications and competencies that enable them to take on responsible management positions in their further research and/or professional life.

In the research-oriented master’s branch of chemistry, there is in-depth training in the main chemistry subjects of inorganic and organic chemistry, physical and technical chemistry, plus elective courses from the 2nd semester onwards.

In the medical-biological chemistry branch of study there are the main subjects organic chemistry, biochemistry, and physiology (partly in the medical faculty), with elective courses starting in the 2nd semester.
