Chemical products are used in almost all areas of life. They form the basis of everyday products and capital goods.

Applied chemists and chemical engineers ensure that the necessary chemical products are available for production, research and development, or for management/sales. They work in government or service laboratories, using their chemical expertise to monitor drinking water and wastewater or to analyze chemicals and products. To summarize, applied chemistry opens up a wide range of fascinating tasks across a broad spectrum of industries, from chemicals and pharmaceuticals to plastics and coatings, automotive, cosmetics, and food. In order to meet the requirements of these diverse tasks and industries, the degree programme focuses on the following specialist areas of study: biochemistry, chemistry, and technical chemistry.
