Composition of Degree Programme
Composition of degree programme
The course of studies is characterised by a high degree of interdisciplinarity because students take courses from different faculties. The course of studies is subdivided into parts on chemistry, biology and food chemistry and also an instruction in the fundamentals of physics, mathematics, biology and data processing.
These basic sciences are taught together with general and inorganic chemistry in the first semester. Based on this, students will learn the fundamentals of organic, physical and analytical chemistry in the following semesters. These subjects are accompanied by several practical trainings in chemistry.
With the fourth semester the part of food chemistry gains more and more weight. The courses of food chemistry are mainly built on the fundamental chemical competences learnt in organic and analytic chemistry.
Nearly half of the workload of the sixth semester is taken up writing the bachelor’s dissertation/thesis. The student has to show that he/she is capable of working independently on an academic project.
