Chemistry
M.Sc.
Overview
Modern tumor therapy, molecular machines, chip technology, efficient catalysts, new kinds of energy sources – chemists bring their ideas to all of these research areas and develop new concepts. Chemistry is the most significant cross-sectional science, in which fascinating research areas are linked with one another to great effect. There is a grand and uninterrupted tradition of chemistry in Germany. In economic terms, the discipline remains the country's most important natural science.
The master's program in Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich offers students the opportunity to create an individual study and competency profile. In the process, they choose a main subject from the areas of
- inorganic and organometallic chemistry
- organic chemistry
- physical chemistry
- chemical technology
And complement this with a minor from a broad spectrum of specialist disciplines:
- analytical chemistry
- inorganic and organometallic chemistry
- construction chemistry
- biological chemistry
- the chemistry of macromolecules, colloids, interfaces
- catalysis
- food chemistry
- material chemistry
- organic chemistry
- pharmaceutical radiochemistry
- physical chemistry
- chemical technology
- theoretical chemistry
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
As a graduate you are able to analyze, describe and evaluate complex sets of circumstances relating to chemicals. Your discipline-specific and methodological competencies enable you to develop and implement individual solutions.
In addition, individual options concerning combinations of disciplines will have allowed you to acquire your own competency profile.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
For graduates of the master's program in Chemistry, diverse opportunities arise: in industry, at research institutes or institutions of higher education, and also in public services. Other sectors also offer interesting opportunities: the cosmetics, food, automotive, electrical, and construction materials industries, metal production and processing, consultancy, energy, insurance, water services, wood processing and paper manufacture, state institutions and regional authorities, factory inspection, customs, fire services, police, regional law enforcement agencies, or clinics.
Structure
- Central to the first two semesters is content in the chosen main subject and minor.
- This is expanded upon in the third semester through content from further disciplines in chemistry and general education modules. Students also have the option to complete the third semester abroad.
- The program concludes with the master’s thesis in the fourth semester.

Qualifications
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. Aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure after the submission of an official application to a program. In this procedure, the TUM school or department determines whether you meet the specific requirements for its master’s degree program.
In the initial stages, the grades you obtained during your bachelor's program, as well as your written documents, will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected or invited to an admissions interview.
