• actively help shape the future of chemistry by expanding your scientific skills and making relevant contributions to our society.
• combine creative and sustainable approaches to solving upcoming social problems with your entrepreneurial and scientific thinking.
• plan, implement, evaluate and present research and development projects.
• contribute to the success of sophisticated research projects with your professional, social, and self-management skills.
• continue your studies in cooperation with foreign research institutions to pursue a doctorate degree.
• you are well-equipped for interesting and varied managerial tasks in typical chemical industries and potentials interfaces such as energy research, product development, production and quality assurance, in the fields of regenerative medicine, specialty chemistry, green chemistry, ecology, production of vaccines and active substances or functional materials, in diagnostics, sensor and nanotechnology, as well as positions at universities and authorities.

• We offer a customisable Master's programme which you can complete in 3 (full-time), 4 or more (part-time) semesters.
• The programme offers an attractive mix of research, science, practice and business modules.
• You will have the opportunity to grow both as a professional and as a person, and to evolve into a sought-after specialist with leadership skills.
• We offer exciting research projects for your Master's thesis in a research group of the institute.
• You will be able to join a research group, where you can practice skills such as teamwork, initiative and critical thinking.
• You will benefit from laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art research infrastructure.
•  You will benefit from small class sizes in the advanced modules, which offer interactive learning activities that will allow you to take charge.

The picture above shows the general structure of a full-time Master's programme. Students design their own study paths and choose their own focal points.

Together with your supervisor, you design your own individual study plan from the range of compulsory and elective modules. The selected modules are recorded in your individual study agreement (planning).

In addition, elective modules from the specialisations of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Food and Beverage Innovation or Applied Computational Life Sciences can be taken.
