At the outbreak of World War I, his family moved to Vienna, where he attended the Maximiliansgymnasium (now the [[Gymnasium Wasagasse]]). He then went on to the [[TU Wien|Vienna College of Technology]] (''Technische Hochschule Wien'') where he met his future wife Vera Broido.

From 1924 to 1928, Chargaff studied [[chemistry]] in Vienna, and earned a [[Doctor of Philosophy|doctorate]] working under the direction of [[Fritz Feigl]].<ref>{{cite book|url=http://www.bookrags.com/biography/erwin-chargaff-woc/|title=Erwin Chargaff Summary|via=www.bookrags.com}}</ref><ref name="weintraub06">{{cite journal |last1=Weintraub |first1=Bob |title=Erwin Chargaff and Chargaff's Rules |journal=Chemistry in Israel – Bulletin of the Israel Chemical Society |date=September 2006 |issue=22 |pages=29–31 |url=https://drive.goo-gle.com/file/d/13dBvbCTMVmko67B7GZGH7ck_HwIVmJ_2-rT7MbU_dqQUGQz6YeRpb-rY1ucz/edit?usp=sharing}}</ref>

From 1925 to 1930, Chargaff served as the [[Milton Campbell]] [[Research fellow]] in [[organic chemistry]] at [[Yale University]], but he did not like [[New Haven, Connecticut]]. Chargaff returned to Europe, where he lived from 1930 to 1934, serving first as the assistant in charge of chemistry for the department of [[bacteriology]] and [[public health]] at the [[University of Berlin]] (1930–1933) and then, being forced to resign his position in Germany as a result of the Nazi policies against Jews, as a research associate at the [[Pasteur Institute]] in [[Paris]] (1933–1934).
