Studienangebot
The chemistry course (Bachelor) is a German-language, modular course with one-semester modules. A detailed description can be found on the website of the course advisory service. The module descriptions can be found in the current study documents. The prerequisite for admission to the course is a knowledge of German at least at level B2.
The chemistry course (Master) is a modular course with one- and two-semester modules over 4 semesters. A detailed description can be found on the website of the course advisory service. The module descriptions can be found in the current study documents.
The prerequisite for admission to the course is a knowledge of Englishat least at level B2.
The master‘s degree in biochemistry, which builds on a bachelor‘s degree in chemistry, biochemistry, biology or molecular biotechnology, prepares students for jobs in modern research centers and enterprises in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology and the life sciences. Graduates have the in-depth specialist knowledge necessary for professional practice, are able to grasp interdisciplinary contexts and are prepared for highly skilled jobs at teaching and research institutions as well as in industry and government agencies. They are also ready for further qualification in national and international graduate programs.
The Biochemistry (Master‘s) is taught in English and is implemented at a cross-faculty level. It is strongly oriented towards interdisciplinarity, internationality and research. The degree program comprises the focal points of "Technical Biochemistry" and "Chemistry of Biological Systems" and is complemented by associated cross-sectional modules.
The integrated German-French degree program in chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry offers German students the opportunity to study for two years at a French partner university. French students of the partner universities have the opportunity to spend one year in Dresden. After successful completion of the integrated degree program, the French degree (Diplôme d'ingénieur) and the German degree (Master of Science) are awarded.
An integrated degree program has advantages compared to an ERASMUS stay. Apart from the longer duration of the stay abroad, the most important aspect is that the studying process is coordinated between the partners. This makes the recognition of all academic credits possible and as a result does not prolong the duration of studying. For German students, this means that the Master of Science can be completed in five years.
