Faculty of Chemistry and Earth Sciences

Welcome!

The Faculty of Chemistry and Earth Sciences forms the roof for the three disciplines of chemistry, geography and geosciences. Our professors and our employees work on numerous collaborative and individual research projects with many local, national and international cooperation partners.

Around 1,600 students are enrolled our study programmes. The study programmes at the Faculty of Chemistry and Earth Sciences are characterized by a family atmosphere and numerous practical courses such as laboratory and field trainings. We also train young people to become chemical laboratory technicians.

Dean:  Prof. Dr Nina Kukowski
