In the Master's in Chemistry, you will specialise in important areas of chemistry and build up your own profile by choosing the compulsory elective modules that appeal to you the most. These include modules that directly address current topics, such as "Bio-, Environmental and Materials Analysis", "Environmental Behaviour of Organic Pollutants", "Macromolecular Chemistry", "Semiconductor Chemistry", "Fundamentals of Natural Product Chemistry", "Silicon Chemistry", "Energy Conversion and Storage" or "Biotechnological Production Processes".

After an introductory project, you will complete a Master's thesis in the 4th semester. To do this, you will deal with an interesting research topic, find out about the subject, carry out experiments in the laboratory (or on the PC) and then present your results to the other members of the institute.

The courses at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg take place in comparatively small groups and practical problems are solved in teams. Online courses support individual learning. The proportion of laboratory practicals in the courses is very high at around 50 per cent. There is a very good supervision ratio and there are no waiting times for the laboratory practicals.
