Academic content
In the compulsory area, students deepen their knowledge in the core subject areas of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. The elective area enables students to further specialise in the subject areas selected in the compulsory modules and/or gain additional insights into other disciplines, such as biochemistry, functional materials, spectroscopy, macromolecular chemistry or theoretical chemistry.
In addition to subject-related specialisation, there is a focus on methodological work in the lab and independent research. Two classic laboratory internships are completed in two of the three central areas of chemistry (inorganic, organic and physical chemistry), while a third is taken in the elective area (biochemistry, macromolecular chemistry or functional materials). Two project internships and the master's thesis are integrated into current research projects and prepare for independent scientific research.
The programme design allows for a high degree of flexibility: In the compulsory area, one module each in inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry must be completed. The lectures for each module are concluded with a joint examination. Both the compulsory modules and the courses in the elective area can be completed in either the first or second semester.
Career perspectives
Graduates with a master’s degree in Chemistry qualify for more responsible tasks in research and development, quality assurance, analytics and production – for example, in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, in food, environmental or materials engineering, and in public institutions. The master's degree also provides the prerequisite for a doctorate and thus entry into an academic career.

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.
