Chemistry Teaching Qualification

Chemistry is the science of substances and their transformations. A fundamental understanding of chemistry enables an understanding of scientific phenomena, the development of new substances, and the ability to be creative, and tackle important challenges facing humanity. Studying chemistry for a teaching career combines practical laboratory skills with core theoretical knowledge. Students regularly work in the laboratory while also learning to support their experiments with theoretical understanding. Subject-specific didactic concepts in chemistry lessons enable you to design targeted teaching, learning, and educational processes. This way, you learn to inspire chemistry students by conveying fundamental knowledge through numerous experiments.
