Profile of the Faculty 10
Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is divided into the four Institutes of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics with over 40 subject areas. In addition, there is technical elementary education as a subject area without an institute assignment. We offer 20 degree courses (Bachelor's, Master's, Teacher Training) in which our students appreciate both the intensive supervision and the wide range of support services.
The innovative teacher training at the University of Kassel is also reflected in our Faculty: our teacher training courses are characterized by integrated modules between subject science and subject didactics, which enable an intensive combination of these two main areas of study from the first semester onwards.
Three scientific institutions belong to the Faculty: The Center for Interdisciplinary Nanostructure Science and Technology (CINSaT) sees itself as the center of nanoscientific activities at the University of Kassel. At the Institute for Nanostructure Technology and Analytics (INA), we conduct research into the development of novel nanostructuring processes and their potential for application. And with the Competence Center for University Didactics in Mathematics (KHDM), one of our aims is to develop the scientific basis for subject-related university didactics in mathematics-related degree courses. We work closely with the Schülerforschungszentrum Nordhessen (SFN), where we help to attract talented pupils to the natural sciences.
