Welcome to the Pedagogy of Chemistry
Chemistry teachers need a solid foundation in their subject area.
In our chemistry education program, you’ll also learn how to design and teach chemistry content in a way that helps students understand it, apply it—and, ideally, learn it with enthusiasm.
You’ll gain insights into research in chemistry education, develop your own lesson ideas, and test them in real-world learning environments such as our student lab, the Science Forum.

Information for Students
The bachelor's degree program in Chemistry Education offers a solid foundation in the subject matter during the first semesters, followed by training in subject-specific pedagogy in the later semesters. The standard duration of the Bachelor’s phase is six semesters. The program can only be started in a winter semester, and the language of instruction is German.
For the Master of Education, you’ll need to plan for four additional semesters.
You are welcome to write your Bachelor’s and/or Master’s thesis with us in the Department of Chemistry Education. Simply contact Prof. Dr. Martin Gröger, Dr. Volker Hofheinz, or Dr. Daniela Krischer.
