Qualitative admission requirements

Applicants whose Bachelor’s degree programme ist not explicitly listed as eligible must provide proof of the qualitative admission requirements. In total, applicants must demonstrate that they have completed:

• 48 ECTS in their previous education in chemistry-related subjects such as Fundamentals of Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry and Biochemistry.
• 16 ECTS of laboratory practicals in the areas of Fundamentals of Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Preparative Chemistry or Synthetic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry or Biochemistry.
• A further 60 ECTS from fields closely related to chemistry or the natural sciences, such as chemical technology, process engineering, theoretical chemistry, biology, measurement technology and similar subjects.

→ Prior to the admission, you have to go through the selection procedure. 

You also have to meet the general admission requirements. You can find further information regarding this on the page Admission to Master’s Programmes.

Building on a bachelor's degree with an experimental orientation at the interface of chemistry/biological sciences or an equivalent degree, this master's degree leads to a professional qualification that, among other things, enables employment in private and state university and research institutions, in industry and in public administration. There, the graduates perform tasks in the research and development of environmentally friendly chemical or bio-based products, in the implementation of sustainable production processes, as well as in the interdisciplinary areas of risk assessment, chemical law and approval.

At TU Wien, you can undertake one of the following doctoral programmes after completing your Master’s degree:

• 796 700 – Doctoral Programme in Engineering
• 796 600 – Doctoral Programme in Natural Sciences
• 796 300 – Doctoral Programme in Social and Economic Sciences
