Changes due to the new examination regulations
Contact
As
of
the
summer
semester
2022, the
new
examination
regulations
for
the
Master’s
program
in
Chemistry
will
be
in
place. Students
who
are
enrolled
in
the
old
examination
regulations
2009
can
complete
their
studies
in
the
old
examination
regulations until September 30th,
2024.
Due
to
structural
changes
in
the
course
of
study
of
the
new
examination
regulations
2022
there
are
also
structural
changes
in
the
course
of
study
of
the
old examination
regulations
2009. This
has
an
impact
on
RWTHonline, especially
on
the
registration
of
exams. If
you are
enrolled
in
the
old
examination
regulations
2009, you will
find
the
changes
that
apply
to
you on
this
page.
RWTHonline: Registration for English-language mandatory examinations
In order for the grades to be entered correctly, you must also register in RWTHonline for the mandatory courses held in English for the exams with German titles!
Changes in language
The language requirements of the new examination regulations 2022 have been changed to “German and English ”. Therefore, mandatory modules can also be offered in English. The following mandatory modules are only available in English:
- Applied Molecular Catalysis (Angewandte molekulare Katalyse)
- Colloid Chemistry (Kolloidchemie)
- Computer Simulation and Spectroscopy of Solids (Computersimulation und Spektroskopie an Festkörpern)
- Heterogeneous Catalysis and Environmental Catalysis (Heterogene Katalyse und Katalyse in der Umwelttechnik)
- Reaction Engineering (Reaktionstechnik)
- Soft Matter Nanoscience (Soft Matter Nanoscience)
- Structures and Properties of Macromolecules and Polymeric Materials (Strukturen und Eigenschaften von Makromolekülen und Polymermaterialien)
Students
of
the
old
examination
regulations
2009
can
take
the
examinations
of
these
modules
in
German
on
request.
In
addition
to
the mandatory modules
mentioned
above, some
of
the
mandatory
elective
modules
are
only
offered
in
English:
- Biomaterials (Biomaterialien und bioaktive Peptide)
- Biophysical Chemistry (Biophysikalische Chemie)
- Characterization Methods in Heterogeneous Catalysis (Charakterisierungsmethoden in der heterogenen Katalyse)
- Catalysis for Modern Organic Synthesis (Katalyse für moderne Organische Chemie)
- Colloidal Hydrogels: Synthesis and Applications in Functional Materials (Kolloidale Hydrogele: Synthesen und Anwendungen in funktionalen Materialien)
- In Situ Spectroscopy for Process Control (In situ-Spektroskopie zur Prozessführung)
- Instrumental Analysis of Polymers (Instrumentelle Polymeranalytik)
- Industrial Organic Chemistry (Industrielle Organische Chemie)
- Mechanistic Studies in Molecular Catalysis (Mechanismen der molekularen Katalyse)
- Multiphase Catalysis: Principle and Industrial Application (Katalysatorimmobilisierung und Mehrphasenkatalyse)
- Nanostructured Catalysts: Synthesis, Characterization and Application (Nanostrukturierte Katalysatoren: Herstellung, Charakterisierung, Anwendung)
- Polymer and Colloidal Dispersion Rheology (Rheologie von Polymeren und kolloidalen Dispersionen)
- Physical Organic Chemistry: Mechanistic Investigation Methods (Physikalisch-Organische Chemie: Methoden für kinetische und mechanistische Untersuchungen)
- Scientific Computing for Chemical Reaction Engineering (Wissenschaftliches Rechnen in der Reaktionstechnik)
- Supramolecular Chemistry (Supramolekulare Chemie)
- Sustainable Industrial Chemistry (Nachhaltige industrielle Chemie)
Students of the old examination regulations 2009 can only take the exams of these modules in German if they have already taken the exams in a previous semester and have failed.
Changes in combined mandatory examinations
In the new examination regulations 2022, the combined mandatory modules were separated. With the 8th modified examination regulations 2009, the examinations of the combined mandatory lectures of the old examination regulations 2009 were also separated. Therefore, students of the old examination regulations 2009 will no longer take part in joint examinations for the following combined mandatory modules:
- SYN 1 ("Exam Molecular Symmetry and Asymmetric Synthesis and Applied Computational Chemistry")
new: "Exam Molecular Symmetry and Asymmetric Synthesis" and "Exam Applied Computational Chemistry" - SYN 2 ("Exam Heterocycles in Medicinal Chemistry and Bioinorganic Chemistry")
new: "Exam Heterocycles in Medicinal Chemistry" and "Exam Bioinorganic Chemistry" - CAT 2 ("Exam Bio- and Organocatalysis and Organometallic Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis")
new: "Exam Bio- and Organocatalysis" and "Exam Organometallic Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis" - MES 2 ("Exam Chemical Nanostructures and Colloid Chemistry")
new: "Exam Chemical Nanostructures" and "Exam Colloid Chemistry" - COS 1 ("Exam Theoretical Chemistry and Molecular Spectroscopy")
new: "Exam Theoretical Chemistry" and "Exam Molecular Spectroscopy" - COS 2 ("Exam Quantum Chemistry of Solid State - Bands, Bonds, Materials Design and Theory of Magnetic Resonance")
new: "Exam Quantum Chemistry of Solid State - Bands, Bonds, Materials Design" and "Exam Theory of Magnetic Resonance"
Students who have only passed one part of an exam of the combined mandatory lectures can be recognized the passed part of the exam. Please contact the Service Center Chemistry.
