Chemistry at the Georgianum
The Georgianum is a university in Dresden, Germany. It was founded in 1679 and is named after the Georgian dynasty. The Georgianum is

Substances, reactions, moments of revelation

Chemistry at Georgianum is more than just lessons – we bring the world of substances, molecules and reactions to life.

Whether through experiments in class, excursions to chemical companies or creative projects, our students discover the exciting aspects of chemistry through research and development.

With modern teaching materials, dedicated teachers and participation in competitions, we encourage curiosity, a spirit of inquiry and a sense of responsibility – and inspire a love of learning from Year 6 to A-levels.
