The teaching at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Biology not only includes courses from the areas of chemistry and biochemistry, but also from bioorganic, bioinorganic, biophysical, macromolecular and analytical chemistry. The curriculum is complemented by courses in the Didactics of Chemistry and courses that are offered in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology, the Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors, the Department of Biochemical and Chemical Engineering and other institutions.

Thanks to the very open degree structure, courses completed abroad can easily be recognised, particularly for the Master's degree course. Research placements and final theses completed abroad can also easily be integrated into the course. In order to promote the option to study abroad, the faculty maintains numerous cooperation agreements as part of the Erasmus+ exchange programme and offers in-depth personal guidance.

At the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, students can use state-of-the-art analysis equipment from Chemistry and Chemical Biology during lab practicals. This is complemented by a joint NMR laboratory and a centre for mass spectrometry within the faculty. All students have access to computers and printers. Lecture theatres and seminar rooms are equipped with digital projectors and WiFi Internet access is provided.
