The branch of scientific dealing with nature and its resources.

The term natural sciences covers the study of nature by means of empirical work. The states and behaviour of nature are observed, measured and analysed in order to draw conclusions about regularities and to make nature usable. Natural science and research includes research at university institutions, private and non-profit institutions.

Training and studies include, among others, dual and school-based training in biology, chemistry or physics as laboratory assistants*. Courses of study in mathematics and the natural sciences include biology, chemistry, biotechnology, mathematics, physics, environmental sciences and business mathematics. It is not uncommon in this sector for contacts to employers to be made and employees to be recruited during the course of studies. In addition to the free economy in various sectors, governmental or semi-governmental institutes that belong to universities or public authorities, for example, are also to be mentioned as employers.
