The goal of the degree program is to prepare students for a career as a secondary-school chemistry teacher. The chemistry teacher must be capable of conveying the foundations and recent findings of chemistry at a level of abstraction appropriate to secondary school students and providing them insight into the significance of chemistry for everyday life. Chemistry class should impart secondary school students with an understanding of the great significance of chemistry for problems humanity is confronted with today, such as insufficient resources and energy, illness and disease, overpopulation, but also the dangers chemical technology can pose for the environment and ecology. The curriculum is geared toward these goals: The first phase of the program focuses on the theoretical foundations of chemistry in the three subdisciplines inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry as well as on the necessary basic skills in mathematics and physics. In addition to theoretical training, great emphasis is placed on the practical application of knowledge in the laboratory. Roughly the same amount of time is devoted to practical and theoretical training. A passion for experimentation and sufficient manual skills are thus essential preconditions for taking up a course of study in chemistry.

The second phase of the program includes courses designed to extend students’ knowledge in specific areas and introduce them to issues concerning the industrial applications of chemistry as well as courses on the theory and methodology of teaching that provide them insight into their future career as chemistry teachers.


Please note:
From the summer semester 2020 on there may be deviations from individual regulations of the admission regulations, selection and entrance examination regulations as well as the study and examination regulations from the Corona Statutes [de].

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
