Introductory events
Various introductory and information events are offered to make it easier for first-year students to start their studies. At the beginning of each semester, a preliminary course in mathematics is offered, which repeats important topics from the upper secondary school. Registration takes place via the Department of Mathematics homepage.
The students of the student council organize a so-called "Ersti-Seminar" at the beginning of each semester. The seminar includes various offers in which students from the chemistry student council introduce the course of study, the professors and the department. Further information is published on the Chemistry Student Council's Erstitage website. To make it easier to plan the introductory events, please register in the KIS using your RPTU email address (see Studies/current "Teaching" page).
The guide for students provides an overview of the online offers at RPTU. Account activation is required to use these.
An overview of the most important orientation offers is compiled in the information flyer for first-year students.
Chemical internships
All students completing a chemical internship at the Department of Chemistry require proof of participation in a general safety instruction course no longer than one year ago. The general safety instruction is offered at the beginning of each semester. In addition, a special safety briefing is held before each chemical internship and attendance is mandatory for participation in the internship.
The "Experimental Techniques" practical courseis integrated into the first semester of the Bachelor's degree courses in Chemistry, Food Chemistry and Chemistry with a focus on Business Studies and Economics. You can find more information about the preliminary discussion and the start date on the internship website.
