Courses offered by the Chemistry department in winter semester 2026/27
This page gives you an overview of the events taking place in winter semester 2026/27. Most of the events require pre-registration for planning purposes in the KIS-Office. The last registration day for this is 12.10.2026, unless another deadline is explicitly listed for the event below. The links for registration in the KIS Office can be found in the respective events (see info box "Events requiring registration").

Advanced Internships
Please refer to the module handbook for your respective degree program for information on the relevant advanced internships, and register for them via KIS and/or directly with the respective instructor.
Reaccredited degree programs as of WS 24/25
In the 2024–25 winter semester, the reaccredited degree programs in Chemistry and Food Chemistry (both at the bachelor’s and master’s levels) began. This also applies to the Bachelor’s program in Chemistry with a focus on Business Studies and Economics—which was subsequently modified in light of these changes—and the Master’s program in Chemistry with a Focus on Economics.
Students who were already enrolled in the same degree program prior to the 2024/25 winter semester and did not opt to switch to the corresponding new program guidelines in the 2024/25 winter semester will continue to study under the old program guidelines, while all other students (Bachelor’s and Master’s) will study under the new, re-accredited study regulations. If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact the academic advisors or the program manager.
Note for Master’s students following the “old” examination regulations regarding KIS:
- If modules or courses that you are required to take under the “old” examination regulations are missing from the KIS, please contact the administrative office of the respective department or the instructor in charge. Please also note the instructions for students under the “old” examination regulations in some courses listed in KIS.
