The placement process

In general

There is no limitation (NC) at the LMU on the number of students who may be admitted to the chemistry and biochemistry bachelor program or to the master program in either chemistry or biochemistry. The students' aptitude for all the programs, however, must be ascertained by a placement exam (see 2. under Hochschulzugang ).

The placement process is part of the application procedure (Bewerbung), which must be completed by the application deadlines. You will be informed of the outcome of your application approximately three weeks after the application deadline (in accordance with the Placement-Process-Bylaws efv_satzung_178.pdf (34 kByte) ) .
If you are not accepted, you only may apply a second time before a following deadline.

The placement process for the bachelor program "Chemistry and Biochemistry"

In this part of the placement process (in accordance with the Placement-Process Bylaws efv_satzung_178.pdf (34 kByte) ), an average grade, without rounding, will be ascertained from the average grade of the Abitur and the grades of specific subjects. The average grade will consist of:

1. the Abitur average grade, weighted with 50%
2. grades in mathematics, biology, chemistry and physics, each weighted with 12.5%.

If grades for the subjects mentioned in 2. are not specified in the grade transcript, those subjects will not be factored into the average. Instead the average Abitur grade will receive the weight of 12.5% more for each missing grade (for example, Abitur grade 62.5%, biology, chemistry and physics 12.5% each).

Relevant vocational training or other practice-oriented training can be taken into consideration to raise the grade average if it is greater than 2.5.
