As part of the master's programme here in Würzburg, you will choose three from our nine focuses in which to specialize. At least two of these must come from the core subjects: inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. You do not have to choose the focuses at the beginning of your studies, you will rather indicate which you have taken when you apply for your certificate. As many courses count toward multiple focus subjects, you have the option to decide on your focuses later in your studies. In addition to subject specific courses, you will need to complete 15 ECTS credits in supplementary subjects as part of your master's degree.
