Chemistry and Technology (Faculty of Chemical Technology) University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague

Overview

At the Faculty of Chemical Technology, students may focus their professional profiles towards specialized fields: the production and properties of metals, glass, or ceramic materials; plastics and rubber; biocompatible materials; and nano- or submicron-scale structured materials. Students can also focus on a more theoretical programme exceeding the scope of the foundational programme. During the course of the programme, students choose one of three specializations offered.

Careers

Graduates are prepared for qualified positions in specialized workplaces such as production plants in the metallurgical, glass-making, ceramics, polymers, automotive, and other industries. Graduates also find qualified jobs in research and development institutions and laboratories.

You can choose from one of three specializations offered by this faculty.

Specialisation - Chemical Technology

The Chemical Technology programme focuses on deepening knowledge in chemical technology (inorganic and organic) or in pharmaceutical technology and synthesis. In addition to the common foundation programme, students can focus on the study of new types of energy sources, catalysis, raw materials treatment, the production processes for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and other specialized interests.

Specialisation - Chemistry

The main aim of this specialization is to prepare students for their Master degree studies. The specialization Chemistry focuses on the knowledge of the physico-chemical principles of chemical and biochemical processes and on the understanding of the fundamentals of inorganic and organic synthesis.

Specialisation - Chemistry and Technology of Materials

This specialization focuses on the study of relations between the chemical structure and physical properties of materials. Students deepen their knowledge of the properties, application, and processing aspects of glass and ceramics, metals and alloys, plastics and rubber, materials for electronics, or composite structures. Students can also learn about materials corrosion and prevention, the application of hybrid and biomaterials, and the surface functionalization of materials.
