Analytical Chemistry
The graduates of Analytical Chemistry are able to work creatively and scientifically on their own and bring their own solutions to problems in the field of analytical chemistry. They are proficient in the scientific methods of research and development in analytical chemistry with a focus on chromatography, spectral analysis, identification of analytes and evaluation of analytical results. Graduates acquire the ability to analytically and synthetically solve challenging tasks of social practice. They will acquire the necessary knowledge to develop their field of study and to publish the results of their own work, and they will also be able to teach specialised chemistry subjects independently at universities. They will be able to plan and lead a research team independently. Graduates of the study field of Analytical Chemistry are qualified to perform the following professions: senior researcher in analytical chemistry, research and development worker, university lecturer. Graduates of the study programme in Analytical Chemistry are proficient in common methodologies of laboratory techniques, modern analytical methods. He/she can independently use existing experimental procedures and design new experiments. He/she knows the basics of computer chemistry and molecular modelling and the application of commercial software, as well as the basics of information and communication technologies such as working with the Internet, information systems and databases. The graduate of the analytical chemistry programme is prepared to follow appropriate practices in accordance with the professional, legal and ethical framework of the discipline.
