Marina Ley: Applied Chemistry graduate from H-BRS on her way to a Master's degree

I have to say that my secondary school, Calvarienberg in Ahrweiler, prepared me excellently for my studies. Things that made studying in Rheinbach very special included the variety of chemistry and materials science modules on offer, the support and helpfulness of many professors and lecturers (who were happy to take the time to solve their students' problems), all kinds of practicals in modern laboratories (which were completed in small groups), super nice fellow students and the excellent organisation of the course, which made it very easy to graduate within the standard period of study.

In the course of my studies, I realised that I was personally fascinated by the subjects of classical chemistry (e.g. organic chemistry), which are taught on a larger scale at universities, so I decided to do my Master's degree at Philipps University in Marburg. There I will have the opportunity to gain knowledge in organic and medicinal chemistry due to a very wide range of options.

Everyone has to decide for themselves whether studying at a (technical) university or at a university is the right choice. When I look back now after my first few weeks at university, I'm very happy to have done my bachelor's degree at a university like Rheinbach, but I'm also looking forward to the new challenges in Marburg.
