Sustainable Chemistry and Materials (BSc)
You can learn in this degree programme how innovative processes and new materials for a resource-saving future are created
In your studies, you learn important scientific basics, methods and use the latest techniques and analytical equipment. Your lecturers are active in research projects and work, for example, on producing films or polystyrene packaging from sustainable raw materials instead of petroleum, or they develop new processes for drinking water treatment with ozone.

Study content
This degree programme offers you a successful combination of a research-oriented chemistry degree with the technology- and application-oriented materials sciences. You expand this knowledge with various aspects and methods of sustainability. The study programme is designed for six semesters and includes a three-month practical phase in a company, a research institution or a university institute.
You can gain practical work experience, participate in research projects and learn about current sustainability issues in chemistry and materials science.
You can also set individual focuses through elective courses. Courses from areas such as business administration, management, law and occupational safety round off your academic education.
Focus sustainability
Sustainability is a guiding principle for Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. It also sets corresponding focuses in its teaching. For example, the Bachelor's degree programme focuses on solid basic knowledge and opportunities for specialisation in selected topics such as the environment, climate, renewable raw materials and sustainability strategies.
„I chose this degree programme because I am interested in contributing to sustainability in the chemical and/or materials processing industry. I particularly like the practical focus in the lab and the unique combination of chemistry and materials science. What makes this degree programme even more enjoyable is the family atmosphere and the fact that we support each other and are there for each other. This makes learning even more fun!”
