Sustainable Chemistry Bachelor with One Core Subject (Academic)
FsB vom 05.03.2026
The Bachelor's degree programme in "Sustainable Chemistry'' provides students with sound chemical and scientific knowledge and enables them to help shape the transformation to a sustainable way of life. In addition to the basics of a Chemistry bachelors degree programme, contents include the basic principles of sustainability, the avoidance of waste and emissions, sustainable polymer materials, recycling management, catalysis and biocatalysis. Ethical issues and the responsibility of Chemistry in society are also addressed. At the same time, key competences such as independent work, scientific discussion and reporting, resilience and interdisciplinary teamwork are promoted.
In Bielefeld, we attach great importance to good teaching and personal support for students in order to create an optimal learning environment in which the individual needs of students are catered for and in which students are prepared for their future careers in the best possible way. Career prospects include working as a sustainability manager, in quality control, public administration or in non-governmental organisations.
The degree qualifies students for the English-taught Master's degree programme Sustainable Chemistry.
