Chemistry is an experimental natural science that deals with the structure, composition, properties and transformation of substances. Approximately 50 percent of the bachelor's degree consists of experimental work. The borders to the neighboring scientific and technical disciplines are fluid, this applies in particular to mathematics, physics, biology and pharmacy. In addition to scientific methods, the course also teaches the ability to act responsibly, especially with regard to the effects of technological change.


The bachelor's degree in chemistry comprises six semesters (three years). The course consists of three study sections.


  • Introductory semester: Basics of general, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry as well as physics and mathematics
  • Semesters two to four: The basics of chemistry are deepened and introductory courses in elective subjects (biochemistry, technical chemistry, macromolecular chemistry) are offered
  • Advanced studies with the final thesis (fifth and sixth semester), additional scientific modules or modules from other faculties can be selected within the free elective area.

More programs from the university

Most undergraduate degrees take 3 years. All programs are divided into an introductory phase (first year), an in-depth phase (second year), and an advanced phase (third year). The final phase is dedicated to writing the bachelor’s thesis. A bachelor’s degree qualifies you to pursue certain careers and apply for graduate programs.

Your choice of subject determines the degree awarded: subjects in the humanities generally award a Bachelor of Arts, subjects in the natural sciences award a Bachelor of Science, and our two interdisciplinary law programs offer a Bachelor of Laws. Teacher training programs also award a special bachelor’s degree.

A Bachelor of Arts program is structured as follows:

  • 1 major (50% or 90 achievement points)
  • 1 minor (25% or 45 achievement points)
  • general professional skills (ABK) courses (15% or 27 credit points)
  • elective courses (10% or 18 credit points).


Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws programs is structured as follows:

  • 1 major (75% or more)
  • general professional skills (15% or less)
  • elective courses (10% or less).


Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws degree programs do not contain a minor component.

After completing a bachelor’s degree, graduates can pursue a Master of Arts or a Master of Science straight away, or take a break and enroll at a later date. As a rule, it takes 5 years to complete a bachelor’s followed by a master’s degree. Universität Hamburg offers two different types of master’s degree. Consecutive master’s programs deepen knowledge and skills acquired during a bachelor’s degree and graduates may commence these programs straight after graduation. Professional master’s degree programs are graduate programs that develop existing professional skills in a particular field. Applicants must thus demonstrate at least 1 year of professional experience. The requirements and qualifications are the same for both types of degree.

Master’s programs may have admission restrictions and individual subjects also have different admission requirements. You can find more information about master’s programs in our German-language information sheet on master’s and professional master’s degree programs (Master- und Aufbaustudiengänge) or in the bilingual online guide to degree programs at Universität Hamburg.
