Teaching

Organic chemistry is one of the classic main subjects in chemistry and the basis for organic materials and polymer chemistry. In order to gain an overview of the various facets of organic chemistry, we offer the compulsory and compulsory elective modules shown (see overview). These should be sensibly supplemented with other courses (in particular Analytical Chemistry 14217 and possibly 14218) if you plan to focus on organic chemistry / polymers (e.g. research internship and/or Bachelor's thesis). 

Organic Chemistry modules are also offered as compulsory and compulsory elective modules for students on the Biotechnology (B.Sc.) course.

For a focus on organic materials and polymers with the Master, the following combinations of modules in the first two semesters may make sense:

1st Semester
-14309 Modern Concepts in Material Design              6
-14298 Methods in Material Analytics                          6
-14995  Advanced Organic and Polymer Chemistry    6
-14408 Biomaterials I                                                   6
-FÜS                                                                             6
OR  14333 Downstream Processing for Products of Industrial Microbiology
OR 14285 Interfacial Chemistry
2nd Semester
-14777 Adv. Organic / Polymer Synthesis                   6
-14409 Biomaterials II                                                  6
-44107 Safety- and Risk-Analysis for Process Plants  6 (Cottbus)

-13251 Introduction to Computational Thinking and Programming for CFD  6 (Cottbus)

-FÜS

Recommenden FÜS Modules could e.g. be 14132 Multidimensional Approaches for Technology Assessment (2nd semester), 13234 Communication of Science and Technology (1st or 2nd semester), Deutsch als Fremdsprache, or 11648 Sustainable Waste Management.
 

Winter Semester 26/27

In the Bachelors “Angewandte Naturwissenschaften” we have the module 14212 “OC III”, consisting of a lecture and a lab part.

Lecture: Tuesday, 10:00-11:30 h, Lecture hall 14C.105

Lab course: upon agreement

In the Master's program, we run the lecture course 14995 “Advanced Organic and Polymer Chemistry”, and contribute to the modules 14298 (Methods in Analytics) and 14309 (Modern Concepts of Material Design), which teach important concepts for the modules of the 2nd semester as well as the research work and the Master's thesis. These modules also include lab work. Module 14309 is a mandatory prerequisite for the compulsory elective module 14777 and is normally expected if you wish to complete your Master's thesis in our department. 

Module 14995 (Advanced Organic and Polymer Chemistry), M.Sc. Chemistry (1st semester). Lecture Mon, 14:30-16:00, Lecture hall 11.103 and Tue 12:30-14:00 h, Lecture hall 14.103 (15.106 on 6.10.)

Module 14298 (Methods in Material Analytics). M.Sc. Chemistry (1st semster): Lecture: Mon 16:30-18:00 h (12.10.-30.11, Lecture hall 11.103; 

Practical: Friday, 8. + 22.1.2027, Mondays 11., 18., 25.1.2027. 

Additional Lecture + Practical from the part of Peer Schmidt!!

Modul 14309 (Modern Concepts in Material Design). M.Sc. Chemistry, (1st semester):

Lecture part: mine are on Wed., 14.10. and 28.10., 8:00-9:30 h, Lecture hall 14C.105 

Mandatory safety information before practical course: Thursday, 29.10., 10:00-11:30 h

Practical part: Monday and Fridays, 8:30-14:00 h, 2.11-4.12., Teaching Lab 14C.211-213 all dates mandatory

Winter semester 2026/27

Opportunities to conduct theses (B.Sc., M.Sc.): anytime, on request/agreement
