The master's studies in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences can begin either with the autumn term (HS) or the spring term (FS). Please choose one specialization for which you will have to earn at least 18 ECTS from the indicated core subject courses. The remaining ECTS up to a total of 30 ECTS come from the non marked electives in the chosen specialization. Electives build a separate module in KSL/CTS and core subject courses cannot be compensated with electives.
Please note that students that started their master studies before HS2024, had more specializations to choose from. That structure continues to apply to those students. They can refer to the "Digital Lecture Plan - Master Chemie FS24 bis FS25" to see which course goes with which specialization.

Please note the exam registration deadlines in KSL. Each Institute has different deadlines.
There is also a rule that you always have to register for the first date of an exam. Repetition exams are only offered to people who failed in the first attempt or were sick/in the military.
