The doctoral programme aims to train students in the critical analysis of scientific research problems in the field of chemistry, and to provide them with the skills required to identify and pursue important research objectives. The programme is designed to develop professionals who will be able to work in industry, in private and public institutions, and in academia.
Students will acquire all the knowledge and working methods necessary to carry out research activities to very high scientific standards in any of the numerous interdisciplinary fields of Chemistry. The central role of Chemistry in modern life is widely acknowledged today. This field of science intersects with several other scientific disciplines (such as physics and biology) and therefore finds application in many different fields, from medicine to nanomaterials, from agriculture to energy, from biology to electronics, from cultural heritage conservation to environmental protection. The input of advanced chemical research is essential in many other scientific disciplines and for the development of production in modern countries.
Doctoral programmes in Chemistry are offered in the following lines of research: 1. Synthesis, reactivity, reaction mechanisms, catalysis; 2. Structural chemistry, spectroscopic analysis; 3. Theoretical and computational chemistry; 4. Solid-state, interphase and electrolyte chemistry, 5. Chemistry of biologically active compounds, food and natural substances, biocatalysis; 6. Chemistry of the environment and of cultural heritage; 7. Chemistry of materials, chemistry for nanotechnologies, supramolecular chemistry, chemistry for energy.
An important aspect of the programme is that students meet foreign researchers and come into contact with internationally renowned research institutes. To this end, a significant part of teaching activities is assigned to foreign lecturers and students are given the opportunity to spend time in research institutions abroad.
