Possible to specialise in "Chemistry and Technology of Coating Materials" (industry-oriented), optional required subject (specialisation) in the subjects of Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Technical Chemistry; Commencement of studies possible in summer semester.

Study abroad at the "Chinese-German Technical Faculty" at the Technical University of Qingdao (partner university in China); numerous partner universities (e.g. ERASMUS). Establishment of an English-language international master's degree course in "Materials Science".

Modern chemistry laboratory building (moved into in 2011), which houses both research and large-scale equipment laboratories as well as the practical training rooms for the practical training of students in the immediate vicinity. There is also a chemical pilot plant. Move into a new interdisciplinary research building in spring 2019 with laboratories and machine hall for the fields of mechanical engineering, chemistry and physics in the cooperation focus on lightweight construction with hybrid systems. A special feature in the large-scale equipment is the procurement of a 700 MHz NMR spectrometer in 2018.
