U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

The BSc and MSc programmes in chemistry are research oriented. A large part of the teaching/learning takes place in the laboratory, often in the research laboratories of the PhD and postdoctoral staff (in advanced modules of the MSc programme). Teaching/learning of concepts and basic knowledge happens by means of lectures, tutorials and self-study (e. g. from textbooks or original papers in advanced modules). The use of digital materials to support the learning of the students (blended learning) is encouraged by the programme management.

The Chemistry department contains three institutes (Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry). The research in all three institutes is mainly fundamental research exploring syntheses, reactivities and properties of new compounds as well as theoretical and analytical methods to gain insight into structure-property-relationships of compounds and the course of reactions on a microscopic level.

In the bachelor's program students will learn all necessary foundations in the mandatory courses. Then elective courses are offered in all main research areas of the department (autonomous systems, computer Vision, data science, IT security, visualization, graphics, algorithmics). The master's program consists only of research-oriented elective courses in these areas that qualify students both for industry and academia. Besides lectures there are also lab courses and seminars that have to be taken.

The syllabus for the BSc contains lectures in math. (35 CP), theoret. physics (> 36 CP), exp. physics (> 35 CP), lab (23 CP) and elective courses in a non-physics topic (8 CP). Students must take an introductory MSc-level course in physics and write a BSc thesis (12 CP). The 1st year of MSc is devoted to coursework, including an advanced lab. Offered are mandatory courses, and choices among specialized lectures. The 2nd year of the MSc studies students work on their thesis. All MSc students are members of the graduate school which we operate jointly with Cologne University.

Research in Bonn covers high energy physics, hadron and nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, photonics, and astrophysics and cosmology - both experimentally and theoretically. We use local labs, ELSA accelerator and a new research building dedicated to particle detectors; we participate in large international collaborations working on high energy physics and cosmology. Theorists collaborate with mathematicians and use supercomputers at the Juelich research center. Our photonics groups are part of the cluster of excellence "matter and light for quantum computing".

The B.Sc. in Physics offers a broad background in Physics and builds the basis for studying in the M.Sc. Physics or M.Sc. Astrophysics. Lectures on experimental and theoretical physics and on Mathematics are part of the curriculum as well as lab-courses. A large part of the exams can only be passed or failed. Oral exams about topics from several lectures document the understanding of concepts taught during different courses.
