Chemistry (Interdisciplinary Bachelor's Degree)

The specific contribution of the subject of chemistry to basic science education consists essentially in the experimental and intellectual examination of the material world. Chemical experiments are particularly fascinating because their processes can be observed and experienced directly and usually in a short time. Experiments train subject-specific skills and teach responsible handling of chemicals and equipment from the household, laboratory and environment. Furthermore, experiments can be used in different contexts to link with the everyday world of the pupils and for quantitative observations.  (cf. Core Curriculum for the Gymnasium: Chemistry, Lower Saxony Ministry of Education).

Students choose chemistry as a teaching subject in the major (first subject) or minor (second subject). In addition to the subject-specific qualifications, modules in the professionalisation area are also taken in the interdisciplinary Bachelor's degree programme. These modules are located in the educational sciences. However, modules in psychology are also taken. In addition to the key competences, the general school internship places emphasis on practical relevance in the early phase of teacher training.
