Academic content
Chemistry is the science behind reactions – from quiet changes to loud bangs and funny smells. As a largely experimental science, chemistry connects theoretical concepts with hands-on laboratory work. It focuses on the structure, properties and targeted conversion of substances – from single molecules to complex materials.
In the bachelor's degree programme in Chemistry, students acquire in-depth knowledge in the three central areas of chemistry: organic chemistry (carbon compounds), inorganic chemistry (chemistry of the remaining elements and their compounds) and physical chemistry (theoretical models and methods). The programme is supplemented by insights into the elective areas of macromolecular chemistry (e.g., plastics) and biochemistry (chemical processes in living cells). In addition to a solid theoretical foundation, the focus is on practical lab work.
Career perspectives
Graduates with a degree in Chemistry can expect a wide range of career opportunities. They can find employment in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, in food, environmental or materials engineering, and in public institutions. Typical fields of activity include research and development, quality assurance, analytics and production. After completing their bachelor's degree programme, many students decide to pursue a master's degree in order to specialise in a particular field or pursue a career in academia. It is also possible to enter the profession directly, for example as a laboratory assistant.

The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
