AB  - For students of the interdisciplinary study program Business Chemistry, it seems challenging to identify career opportunities that fit their particular expertise, meaning a combination of both the chemistry and business world. This contribution’s goal is to observe and describe the status-quo of Business Chemistry in the DACHregion. In an online survey, 112 employed or self-employed graduates of Business Chemistry were asked about their qualification acquired during their studies and their first working positions. The results showed that most graduates did internships and studied abroad before starting their first job. Over half of the graduates stated to have found a first job after graduation within less than four months. Half of them started working in the chemical industry, the other half in related industries. They entered in various functions ranging from accounting to sustainability management. These results serve as orientation for students, employers and universities when evaluating qualification and potential career opportunities of Business Chemistry graduates.
