Do chemists only work in the laboratory? Far from it – the fields in which chemists work are as diverse as chemistry itself.
From A for analytics or application technology through marketing, production and product management to process engineering and sales, a completed degree in chemistry opens up a wide range of career opportunities. On these pages, you will find information about various careers in chemistry.
The content is updated and expanded at regular intervals. It is worth coming back!
The poster series aims to draw the attention of students, doctoral candidates, graduates and school pupils to the diversity of careers in chemistry.
The posters can be ordered free of charge by schools and universities, employment agencies and careers information centres, or other institutions, as well as by the JCF regional sections.
In the interviews, chemists who are passionate about chemistry and their profession talk about their experience of starting their careers, the activities that make up their profession and what excites them about it.
