Important Information for Chemistry Students

Updated on Oktober 21, 2020

The University has taken further measures to protect students and staff.

The university provides information about these on the Corona information portal:

https://www.uni-siegen.de/corona/index.html

 

You can find updated information on written and oral examinations here (March 15, 2020).

Office hours of the examination office:

The examination office will not offer any office hours for personal inquiries effective immediately. Please send an e-mail to pa@chemie.uni-siegen.de with your inquiry. While every e-mail and inquiry is important to us, the response time might be longer than usual due to the current coronavirus situation.

How to submit a thesis to the examination office

Effective immediately (and until further notice) master's thesis and bachelor's thesis have to be submitted to the chemistry examination office by e-mail before the submission deadline to pa@chemie.uni-siegen.de in a PDF file format (max. 20 MB). In the event that a single PDF would exceed this file size, students may send separate e-mails and distribute the thesis across several PDFs.

You must use your official university e-mail (xyz@student.uni-siegen.de) for submission of your thesis to the examination office. E-mails sent from other providers (google, yahoo, etc.) or unknown accounts will not be considered.

How to apply for a submission deadline extension for ongoing master's and bachelor's thesis work

If your experimental work in a research group in the Department of Chemistry and Biology is affected by the temporary closure of the laboratory, you may ask for an extension of the submission deadline. Please get permission of your supervisor to do so including an estimated laboratory closure time (number of weeks) and send his/her confirmation and your request for a deadline extension in one e-mail to pa@chemie.uni-siegen.de AND engelhard@chemie.uni-siegen.de.

How to register future master's thesis and bachelor thesis's work in the upcoming weeks

Thesis topics can be registered with the examination office by e-mail to pa@chemie.uni-siegen.de using the thesis registration form.

Please talk to your prospective supervisor about the situation and the possibility to perform theoretical work and/or laboratory work.
