Academic content
The Master of Education in Chemistry prepares students for teaching chemistry at secondary schools. Building on a polyvalent bachelor's degree programme, it deepens students' scientific and didactic knowledge of chemistry and is supplemented by teaching-specific components. In addition to subject-specific training, the curriculum also includes educational sciences, pedagogy and an integrated school practice semester, during which students gain their first practical experience in teaching.
The master's thesis can be written in either of the two main subjects or in the field of educational sciences.
The programme is offered in close cooperation between the University of Freiburg and the University of Education (Pädagogische Hochschule) Freiburg, and is coordinated by the Freiburg Advanced Center of Education (FACE). It aims to prepare future teachers for competence-oriented, student-centred and experimental chemistry lessons.
Career perspectives
The Master of Education in Chemistry qualifies graduates to teach at secondary schools and prepares them for their “Referendariat” (practical training phase for teacher education). It also opens up opportunities in adult education, science communication, educational research and the development of teaching materials.

Satzung über ergänzende Regelungen zum Zulassungs- und Prüfungsrecht
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.
