In addition to a BSc degree course in Chemistry with a focus on Biochemistry or Macromolecular Chemistry, Universität Freiburg offers the bi-national "Regio Chemica" degree course in cooperation with the University of Mulhouse (FR). The Master's degree course in Chemistry offers broad training; interdisciplinary and specialised courses include "Biochemistry and Biophysics" as well as the "Sustainable Materials" course, which focuses on sustainable materials science with three distinct areas.

The department offers the "Regio Chemica" BSc degree course together with the University of Mulhouse (FR). Students spend the 1st year in Mulhouse, the 2nd year in Freiburg and the 3rd year at whichever of the two universities they prefer. The MSc degree courses "Biochemistry and Biophysics" and "Sustainable Materials – Polymer Science" each have an international element supported by the University of Strasbourg (FR). The department encourages students to stay abroad and will recognise the credits achieved there after prior consultation.

Together with other faculties at Universität Freiburg, the department operates a managed equipment pool for "magnetic resonance spectroscopy" including ESR, analytical and imaging NMR spectrometers. The equipment focuses on X-ray structural analysis, mass spectrometry, electron microscopy and syntheses automation. A broad spectrum of apparatus-based analytical procedures and a CIP computer room are available as part of the teaching.
