Bachelor of Science in Applied Chemistry FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences

The course of study is conducted in German. A technical German course is required for international students during the first two semesters.

The degree programme has a strong focus on applied chemistry, with an emphasis on sustainability and practical experience.

All students receive an in-depth, comprehensive education in all the important areas of modern chemistry. In addition to the basics of inorganic, organic, physical, and technical chemistry and analytical methods, students learn about nuclear chemistry as well as polymer and plastics technology. After completing their basic studies in the first three semesters, students have the option of focusing their interests in advanced sustainable chemistry or Bio-Sciences including Biotechnology.

Our modern, well-equipped labs play a major role in ensuring that students are later able to apply their knowledge to their chosen careers. Advanced students plan projects together, work towards a common goal, and then present the results in a written report as well as to the class.

Students can complete their Bachelor's projects in industry or at the nearby Jülich Research Centre (http://www.fz-juelich.de) as well as in the university labs.

Some students choose to continue in a Master's programme, such as our European Master of Science in Nuclear Applications, our Master of Science in Applied Polymer Sciences, or another Master's programme offered here or at another university.

Applicants should not count on financing their stay in Jülich or Aachen by working part-time during their studies. However, some students are successful in finding part-time jobs either at the university or elsewhere.

Some students live in student dormitories. Other students generally live in shared apartments in which each student has his or her own room. Living areas, bathrooms, and cooking facilities are shared. Furnished rooms start at about 300 EUR per month plus about 75 EUR per month for electricity, water, and heating. Most rooms require the first month's rent and a security deposit of one to three months' rent in advance before you can move into the room. If the room is in good condition when you move out, your security deposit will be returned. International students can place their names on a waiting list for the student dormitories.
