University statistics on chemistry

Statistics of chemistry degree programs

Every year, the GDCh collects comprehensive data from all universities offering chemistry programs, including the number of students in the various study phases, the number of exams taken, their grades, and the duration of their studies. Information on career entry after completing bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees is also collected. The GDCh is supported in the survey by the chemistry departments at the universities. The statistics are published annually in early July.

The statistics with data from 2023 (published July 2024) can be found here.

Survey on postdoctoral qualifications, junior professorships and the proportion of women among professors

For several years now, the GDCh has also been collecting data on post-doctoral qualifications, post-doctoral candidates and junior professorships at German universities. The proportion of female C3 and C4 professors was also asked. The survey is carried out every two years.
