Master's in Chemistry

The Master's in Chemistry at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg allows students to shape their degree around personal interests and professional goals by selecting three focus subjects from nine available options. The two core focus subjects are inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, from which students choose two; the third can be the remaining core subject or one of the following additional specialisations: Functional Materials, Homogeneous Catalysis, Medicinal Chemistry, Supramolecular Chemistry, Theoretical Chemistry, or Biochemistry. Students are not required to declare their focus subjects at the time of application. The programme is fully taught in English and aims to prepare graduates for doctoral studies or direct entry into professional roles. It runs over 4 semesters and is open to entry in both the winter and summer semesters. The degree comprises 120 ECTS credits. Each focus subject includes a mix of required and elective courses as well as practical laboratory courses. An additional 15 ECTS credits come from supplementary subjects, and the Master's thesis accounts for 30 ECTS credits. The programme is offered at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg in Würzburg.
