Master studies
Postgraduate studies last one year (two semesters) and are valued with 60 ECTS points.
The following study programmes and respective degrees are available:
- Chemistry – Master of Science in Chemistry,
- Quality Control and Environmental Protection – Master of Science in Chemistry – Quality control and environmental protection,
- Chemistry in Education – Master of Science in Chemistry – Chemistry in education.
- Master of Science in Chemistry – those who have obtained this degree can work as consultants and experts in ministries, regional administrative bureaus, national and international (European) institutions (on material testing, in criminal investigations and forensic medicine, environmental protection,…), or in very narrowly specialized areas such as scientific associations, museum science, archeology and others. The acquired knowledge in the methodology of analytical approaches to sample preparation and bioinformatics enables independent processing of experimental data and databases search. Students who have obtained this degree are qualified to participate in research, to perform standard biochemical laboratory procedures and to use laboratory instruments, and to present their results in scientific and professional papers. Under certain conditions, they can also work at higher education institutions.
- Master of Science in Chemistry – Quality control and environmental protection, students who have obtained this degree can work independently in chemical laboratories of various purposes, especially in research and professional laboratories for the environment, research and development, quality control of various types of products, standardization, process monitoring, environmental monitoring, accredited laboratories, etc. In addition, they can work as consultants and experts in ministries, regional administrative bureaus, national and international (European) institutions. They are able to participate, independently or as part of a team, in research projects related to the environment. They have the experience in implementing standard methods for determining the quality of different types of products and the level of contamination of environmental spheres, from the initial sampling step to the issuance of reports, applying the relevant settings of metrology in chemistry. Under certain conditions, they can also work at higher education institutions.
- Master of Science in Chemistry – Chemistry in education – students who have obtained this degree can be employed in all primary and secondary schools and teach all subjects from the home field of chemistry, such as general, inorganic, analytical, physical, organic chemistry, biochemistry, radiochemistry, applied chemistry and others. They can also work in educational and pedagogical institutes and ministries of education. Under certain conditions, they can also work at higher education institutions.
