About the programme
Chemistry and Biotechnology is an English-taught, research-focused binational Master of Science at Leipzig University with an integrated period at Ohio University, ending in a double degree. Please note that the page currently says enrolment into the first semester is suspended. It is a chemistry programme with a focus on biotechnology, and you choose two specialisations from areas such as analytics and forensics, inorganic chemistry and materials science, biochemistry and biotechnology, organic chemistry and active ingredients, and physical, theoretical and technical chemistry. Students enrolled at Leipzig earn credits in compulsory elective modules and an internship module both at Ohio University and at Leipzig, plus a module where the thesis is completed. The programme lasts three semesters with 120 credits and starts in the winter semester. It suits graduates in chemistry or another natural science or engineering subject with comparable chemistry content.
