Overview

Overview

The Master's programme leads to the professionally qualifying degree Master of Science (M.Sc.), which is more scientifically oriented than the Bachelor's degree. The M.Sc. degree thus fulfils the necessary requirements for working in the R&D sector (R&D = research and development), in the industry or for a subsequent doctorate.

The courses of the programme reflect the research foci in the Department of Chemistry at JLU Giessen. This includes modern topics from the fields of materials chemistry, nanochemistry, surface chemistry/catalysis, bioinorganics, bio- and environmental analytics, computational chemistry, applied electrochemistry as well as special inorganic and organic synthesis chemistry. Graduates will thus be able to work in a number of very different professional fields. In addition to the traditional chemical and pharmaceutical industries, this  includes the electrical industry as well as numerous medium-sized companies, e.g. from the environmental sector or material refinement. The Master's programme is designed to impart competencies with a unique combination in Hesse.

The scientific competence and excellence of chemistry at JLU Giessen is also reflected in the acquirement of third-party funding programmes and the quality and number of publications of the research groups. This creates solid conditions for leading outstanding Master's graduates to doctoral degrees in a modern field of research in chemistry.

Language

The study programme can be studied as both a German-language and an English-language programme. Also in the German-language degree programme, modules are conducted in German and/or English.
