Testimonials
What I really like about the Chemistry program at the University of Göttingen is the main project of my Ph.D. I want to master the fundamentals of Quantum Chemistry, and I think this is the avenue where I can possibly do it.

Hi, my name is Manuel Alcarazo and I am a professor of organic chemistry at the University of Göttingen. Our University and specifically the faculty of chemistry belongs to the group of the most prestigious ones in Germany. Hence, it is a great place not only to study but also to do research. Specifically, my research group works in the development of new synthetic methodologies that allow the preparation of biologically active molecules such as for example this one.
