Completed four-year secondary education and successfully passed entrance exam.

Study programme goals

The final goal of the study program "Chemistry" within the undergraduate academic studies is forming experts who have a high level of fundamental and applied knowledge in the various fields of chemistry and a developed ability to "think in a chemical way", which includes the ability to notice, understand and successfully solve complex chemical problems which they are bound to face in their future work within fundamental research, innovation and development projects and in the laboratories for research and development, quality control, standardization, process monitoring, etc.

Study outcome

Upon completing the study program Chemistry, the candidate is awarded the title "BSc in Chemistry".

By completing the study program "Chemistry" within the undergraduate academic studies, a student acquires fundamental and practical knowledge in the various fields of chemistry, which enables him to understand chemical processes and to actively participate in scientific research work in the field of fundamental and applied research. During their studies, students learn in detail about the mechanisms of chemical reactions, master the modern synthesis techniques and instrumental methods and are trained to use computational methods for data analysis.

A student who completes the studies within the study program "Chemistry" of the undergraduate academic studies is able to do creative and independent work in chemical laboratories of various profiles and purposes (research and development, quality control, standardization, process monitoring, etc.). Apart from this, a student who has completed this study program is also qualified to participate in fundamental research and development projects and assignments.

Access to further studies

Diploma holders are entitled to apply for master academic studies (which have the workload of 60 ECTS).

Professional qualifications

Students who have successfully completed the study program "Chemist":

• Understand and apply fundamental and practical knowledge from various fields of chemistry (general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry, applied chemistry and biochemistry).
• Understand chemical processes and can actively participate in scientific research work in the field of fundamental and applied research.
• Have a detailed knowledge of the mechanisms of chemical reactions and have mastered the modern synthesis techniques and instrumental methods and can apply them in their work.
• Are able to independently conduct measurements and process the obtained data.
• Are capable of doing creative and independent work in chemical laboratories of various profiles and purposes (research and development, quality control, standardization, process monitoring, etc.).
• Are qualified to participate in fundamental research and development projects and assignments, both independently and as members of a team which consists of experts of various profiles.
• Have professional and ethical responsibility.
• Can further improve their knowledge and keep up with the development of technology and their profession throughout their professional lives (lifelong learning).
