Applied Chemistry

Our second-degree full-time Applied Chemistry program lasts two years (IV semesters). Graduates receive a master's degree after completing a diploma thesis and successfully defending their diploma. During the course of study, students can earn a maximum of 90 ECTS credit points (European Credit Transfer System). As part of the study program, we offer two specializations: chemistry of materials and chemical analysis.

Obligatory courses offered in the study program:

Inorganic & metalloorganic coordination chemistry, Advanced analytical chemistry, Advanced organic chemistry, Physical aspects of advanced techniques & processes, Molecular spectroscopy, Chromatography and electrophoresis, Sustainable chemistry and technology for the circular economy and Good laboratory practice, Foreign language, Entrepreneurship, Subject in humanities or social sciences, Introduction to intellectual property management, Specialistic linguistic workshop.

Some elective courses:

Chemistry materials – Materials for energy storage, Advanced instrumental methods for material analysis, Chemistry of nanomaterials, Structural Chemistry, Polymers, Current methods in the chemistry of materials, Catalytic processing, Nanostructural materials in chemical analysis, and Conducting polymers.

Chemical analysis – Sampling and sample preparation, Atomic spectrometry, Process analysis in chemistry, Toxicological analysis, Methods for surface analysis, Current methods in chemical analysis, Bioanalysis, Ecoanalysis, and Environmental chemistry.

Graduate profile:

Education in the field of Applied Chemistry is aimed at equipping graduates with knowledge, skills, and competencies in the field of chemistry based on the basics of exact and natural sciences (chemical sciences discipline), enabling them to take up work in any European country, as well as outside Europe. Regardless of the type of specialization, graduates obtain the same specific learning outcomes, differing only in the substantive content of specialization, elective, and diploma classes. A feature of the second-cycle Applied Chemistry studies is their universality and achieving practical skills. Many laboratory classes guarantee to acquire highly valued professional skills in the labor market.

Achieving learning outcomes in the second-cycle Applied Chemistry field will provide graduates with employment opportunities in enterprises and in public, non-governmental, and research organizations and institutions whose activities are related to the use of chemistry.  Thanks to the knowledge of professional literature, the graduate will be able to follow national and global scientific progress in the field of chemistry and be fluent in English at the B2+ level per the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

The graduate will be prepared to continue education at the doctoral school and postgraduate studies.

Academic, vocational degree: Master’s degree

Admission rules

Recruitment rules and how to convert points

1)    if the basis for enrolment is the final result of the studies (grade on the diploma) or the final result of the studies and the arithmetic mean of the grades of the first-cycle studies (second-cycle studies or uniform master's studies), then:
a)    the diploma grade for recruitment is converted into points as follows:
5.0 - 100 points
4.5 - 80 points
4.0 - 60 points
3.5 - 40 points
3.0 - 20 points
The maximum number of points obtained for the grade on the diploma is 100.
b)    the arithmetic mean of the grades for first-cycle studies, second-cycle studies or long-cycle studies shall be converted into points in the recruitment process at a ratio of 1:1. The maximum number of points that can be obtained from the grade point average is 5.0.
c)    the maximum number of points available in the admission procedure is 105 (total points: the grade on the diploma and the average for the first-cycle programme, the second-cycle programme or the single-master programme),
2)    if admission is based on the result of an entrance examination/interview - the maximum number of points obtained from the examination/interview is 100.
