Why studying chemistry in Bonn?
Diversity
Chemistry in Bonn offers a wide range of topics. In addition to the basic pillars of chemistry (inorganics, organics, physical chemistry), the program also focuses on analytics and theoretical chemistry. The many research-oriented elective options of the master's program also make studying in Bonn particularly attractive.
Facilities
The human, spatial and financial resources, the research infrastructure (state-of-the-art large and small equipment for research) and the supervision ratio between teachers and students are above average in chemistry in Bonn.
Individual supervision
The balanced ratio between students and teachers allows for individual supervision. In particular, the small group size in advanced classes ensures a pleasant and productive learning atmosphere.
Excellence
As part of the University of Excellence Bonn, the Chemistry Department can look back on a successful history with famous scientists such as August Kekulé or Rudolf Clausius, but also shines with current award winners.
Research in Bonn
Excellent research groups
Research is carried out at three institutes - Inorganic, Organic and Physical/Theoretical Chemistry - in 20 working groups with many well-known professors. Our work relies on interdisciplinarity as shown, for example, by the successful SFBs of recent years.
High output and impact
The chemistry department at the University of Bonn has a high scientific output, as evidenced by the large number of externally funded projects and high-impact publications.
Modern equipment
Modern laboratories and research facilities with excellent equipment create an inspiring environment to tackle the challenges of chemistry. In addition, the supervision ratio between teachers and students in chemistry in Bonn is above average.
Fundamental and applied research
Doctoral and postdoctoral students are offered opportunities in both fundamental and application-based research. In many research groups, both aspects are also combined.
