Strong practical training in the bachelor's and master's degree programme in chemistry; Strong interdisciplinary focus of the bachelor's and master's for biomedical chemistry through cooperation with other disciplines (medicine, biology, pharmacy); Networking with other departments to ensure high quality of teaching; Very broad range of chemistry course offerings; Non-university research institutions on campus are also involved in teaching; Cooperation with the universities of Frankfurt and Darmstadt that allows students to attend courses at these institutions as well.

In addition to numerous elective subjects, the Chemistry Faculty offers seven focus areas, of which students must choose two: applied analytical chemistry, nuclear chemistry, macromolecular chemistry, matter, materials, and methods, molecular functional materials, preparative chemistry, and theoretical chemistry and computer chemistry; The degree course in soft matter and materials is offered as a cooperative study programme with Darmstadt Technical University; Non-university research institutions on campus are also involved in teaching

High proportion of students who spend a semester abroad as part of the Master's degree course. Informational events, and counselling and advice are provided to support students who plan to study abroad. In addition, there are partnerships with a number of universities for student exchanges and several Erasmus cooperations. Furthermore, there is a growing number of courses in English to increase the attractiveness for incoming students.

State-of-the-art teaching and research buildings are available for chemical subjects. Furthermore, the Chemistry department has modern analytical facilities for research and teaching.

Participation in several Collaborative Research Centres; International graduate colleges; Numerous partnerships with industrial companies; Also, close research cooperation with the universities in Frankfurt/Main and Darmstadt as a part of the RMU partnership. Cooperation with non-university research institutions at the Mainz site (IMB, MPI-P, MPI-C, HIM, ICT-IMM, etc.).

In Mainz, a large number of specialisations are available in the Chemistry (BSc and MSc) degree programme. Sustainability is a profile area of chemistry, highlighting compulsory elective subjects such as sustainable chemistry, electrochemistry and photochemistry, as well as numerous research projects. The degree course Biomedical Chemistry (BSc and MSc) offers a variety of other specialisations. The University of Mainz is a campus university, which means the paths between faculties are short, which ensures interdisciplinary cooperation with other subjects.
