3 Course Overview

4 Course Overview Major Subjects: - Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Physical Chemistry - Chemical Engineering Second Major Subjects: - Analytical Chemistry - Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry - Construction Chemistry - Biological Chemistry - Chemistry of Macromolecules, Colloids, Interface - Catalysis - Food Chemistry - Materials Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Pharmaceutical Radiochemistry - Physical Chemistry - Chemical Engineering - Theoretical Chemistry Optional Subjects: - Modules of ALL subjects which aren t included in major subjects - Related modules from other STEM fields (and indeed exactly) ECTS from extracurricular topics (everything that s not chemistry related) You ll need to choose your subjects and hand in a form at the study office roughly until the end of this year!

5 ECTS Course Overview Several possibilities in choices of subjects ¼ of ECTS selectable from all courses offered at our faculty and several other faculies Individual design of studies Major Subject Optional Courses Second Major Subject Master's Thesis

6 Course Overview Course overview located at: -> Study -> Chemistry -> Course overview, alternatively at Major and Second Major curriculum not the same!

7 Course Overview Usually there is no need to register for modules. Just show up at the first appointment (If not stated otherwise, in the first week of lecture period, the start dates can be found at TUMonline ( or the chairs website Unfortunately, different modules may often overlap in time, even if they belong to the same subject! Registration possible at TUMonline, mostly needed to join the mailing list and to access the online-material ( Registration for exams starts in the last third of the semester, is mandatory and has to be done until one, tow weeks before examination

8 Research Laboratory Courses Depending on choice of subjects 1 4 mandatory research laboratory courses directly at the chairs 4 6 weeks of work directly in the research group, additional time to write report Different rules for choosing and registering a research laboratory course, depending on chair and topic Available topics sometimes announced on websites/bulletin boards, if not, contact the professor, or, even better, talk to the PhD students directly Industrial internships possible, but a lot of bueraucratic effort

9 Semester Abroad Easy to integrate in the Master programm; ca. half of the student body chooses to do a semester abroad Acknowledgement of modules at partner universities unfortunately kind of difficult; In Major/Second Major nearly impossible, Research laboratory courses possible after prior agreement, other modules as optional subjects To main paths: TUMExchange (non-european countries) and Erasmus+ (Europe), organization via International Center Further information at There s also the possibility to organize one s very own exchange semester besides the big programs!

10 Semester Abroad Information Event TUMExchange: Ihre TUMexchange Bewerbung - Schritt für Schritt Wann: 11. Oktober :00 12:00 Uhr Wo: HS 1402 (Stammgelände, Eingang Luisenstr. 8, 1.OG) TUM Studierende können sich vom bis zum für ein Auslandssemester außerhalb Europas im Wintersemester 2018/19 und im Sommersemester 2019 bewerben.

11 Further University Programs Zentraler HochschulSport München (ZHS): Sportive activity programs for students Carl-von-Linde Akademie: Soft skill qualification courses Sprachenzentrum: Language courses
