Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy Tübingen
The former Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy at the University of Tübingen emerged from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences , which was founded in 1863 as an independent Faculty of Natural Sciences . In 1969 this faculty was divided into departments . In the chemistry department, biochemistry was integrated as a sub-area. Later, the chemistry department and pharmacy became the faculty. Accordingly, the faculty consisted of three sub-areas: biochemistry , chemistry and pharmacy . On October 1, 2010, the faculty was merged into the newly founded Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.
history
A first laboratory was set up in Hohentübingen Castle in the middle of the 18th century . It existed from 1753 to 1863 in the former castle kitchen . Later there were renewed laboratories at the castle. In 1907 the new chemical institutes were opened at Wilhelmstrasse 31–33. The building in which the Pharmaceutical Institute was housed was built next to it.
In 1972 the chemical institutes moved to the new campus on the mountain, on the morning place . Biochemistry, chemistry and pharmacy were merged to form the new Faculty 14. Inorganic and organic chemistry populated the 13-story A-building, pharmacy and physical chemistry were to be found in the 10-story B-building.
In 2002 it was planned to renovate the chemical institute for fire safety reasons. In order to be able to continue operations, an extension was created for the internship . In 2008 the Chemical Institute was partially renovated and the first working groups have now moved back into the A building. This renovation should be finished by the end of 2009. then the three institutes of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry will be united in one building for the first time in around 50 years.
Biochemistry intends to introduce the bachelor's degree in 2009 . In chemistry, in addition to the previous modular diploma course and a teaching degree , a Bachelor / Master course will be introduced from the 2009/2010 winter semester . Pharmacy in Tübingen has the specialty of offering a master’s degree in addition to the state examination .
The sub-areas of the faculty
biochemistry
history
Günther Weitzel ((1915–1984), in Tübingen since 1957) founded the first new course in biochemistry in Tübingen, which was unique in Germany at the time. This began in 1962 and started in the new building of the Physiological-Chemical Institute on the Schnarrenberg (1959–1965).
The inter-faculty Institute for Biochemistry at the University of Tübingen (IFIB) - previously the Physiological-Chemical Institute (PCI) - has been part of both the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy and the Faculty of Medicine since 2004.

courses
Bachelor / Master
The new bachelor's degree in chemistry was clearly influenced by experiences with the modularized diploma degree . The Bachelor's degree in chemistry at the University of Tübingen comprises six semesters . It conveys the basic knowledge in the chemical sub-disciplines of inorganic, organic, physical and theoretical chemistry as well as basic knowledge in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, mathematics and physics .
In addition, the program offers non-scientific modules to, for example, where foreign languages - and IT - skills and presentation experience can be acquired.
The course is intended to provide students with the specialist knowledge, skills and methods that enable them to do independent scientific work and to critically classify scientific findings.
In the first semester, basic knowledge in chemistry is imparted in the lecture General and Inorganic Chemistry and the associated internship . This basic knowledge is the basis of the orientation test at the end of the first semester.
The bachelor’s degree is completed in the sixth semester with the bachelor’s thesis (B.Sc. thesis ). The bachelor thesis can be written in the three basic subjects of inorganic, organic and physical and theoretical chemistry. Details can be found
This will be followed by a four-semester master’s course .
Tübingen has the academic year beginning in autumn, but plans to start in the summer semester if certain requirements are met without losing any time.
Teaching position
A modularization is planned for this course.
Old modular diploma course
Since the winter semester 02/03, the chemistry diploma course has been converted into a modular one.
It goes a little further beyond the so-called “Würzburg model”. The chemistry diploma including thesis should be achieved within 10 semesters. The course is divided into a basic course followed by a basic course and a focus course. In addition to the three main subjects inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, the minor subjects Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry and Theoretical Chemistry are offered in the basic and basic studies, which can be chosen as elective subjects in the main degree. There are then a wide variety of options in the specialization course. As elective courses in basic studies (up to and including 6th semester) Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry or theoretical chemistry apply. One of the elective subjects can then be chosen as the 4th examination subject:
- Analytical chemistry
- biochemistry
- Chemical informatics
- Materials science
- Medicinal chemistry
- Synthetic chemistry
- Theoretical chemistry
However, there is also the option of choosing one of these subjects as an extended focus subject instead of one of the three classic main subjects. In addition, there was a restructuring of the range of courses for the 1st semester, in which all three main subjects (AC, OC, PC) are introduced both in lectures and in seminars or exercises, as well as in internships.
research
Chemistry in Tübingen combines years of experience in basic research with application- related research problems in a tried and tested manner . Details can be found on the faculty's homepage at the institutes. In chemistry in Tübingen, the following modern research problems are dealt with as a special feature:
- Energy storage , energy conversion
- catalysis
- Nano optics
- Organic Light Emitting Diodes ( OLED )
- Biosensors and chemosensors
pharmacy
Pharmacy in Tübingen has a long tradition. Pharmacy Day has been held annually in recent years. The Merckle Promotion Prize will also be awarded on this occasion.
Education
Each of the 3 sections of the pharmacy degree is completed with a state examination. But there is also a diploma course. Details with course structure
