EXPLANATORY NOTE
Until present the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology remains the only faculty
in the republic, which prepares highly qualified specialists in chemistry in the pedagogical and
technological field within the framework of programme 441.1 Chemistry that is a part of the field
of training 44 Exact Sciences.
Chemistry is one of the scientific disciplines, that is, alongside with others, makes a part of
natural sciences. Physics and mathematics are subjects that a chemist must study in the first
academic year of study, because these subjects are of vital importance to further comprehension of
chemistry. Information technologies, foreign languages, philosophy, environment protection and
other subjects related to natural sciences are also studied at the initial stage (cycle I, I - II year), as
they contribute to the background for deepening one's knowledge in chemistry, accomplishment of
the diploma thesis, and selection and completion of specialization in the second cycle.
The aim of the programme is to train specialists who can work as chemists in different
scientific centres, secondary education institutions, analytical laboratories etc. The title conferred to
the graduates is "„Licentiate (Bachelor degree) in exact sciences”". The graduates of Cycle I
obtain Bachelor's degree diploma that enables them to continue their studies in Cycle II - for
obtaining Master's degree or to find employment.
The title conferred to the graduates is „Licentiate (Bachelor) in exact sciences”. The
graduates of Cycle I obtain Bachelor's degree diploma that enables them to continue their studies in
Cycle II - for obtaining Master's degree or to find employment.
Admission to the faculty is based on the competition of diplomas, such as baccalaureate,
secondary specialised education (college) and higher education degree or Bachelor's degree. The
faculty ensures training of specialists in conformity with the provisions of the Bologna Process and
applies the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System that ensures the international
recognition of documents on education and academic mobility of students.
The qualification of the first cycle (Bachelor's degree in Exact Scienses) is conferred to
graduate students who have completed the full programme and have passed the evaluation tests
(including graduation exam) and have at least grade “5”. Upon completion of the training program
the graduate has the following generic competencies (adaptation of professional message to
different socio-economic environments; reasoning in specific decision-making regarding the field
of chemical technology; interpretation of the relevant scientific data; ability to formulate ideas,
problems and solutions to inform the audience) and subject-specific skills (ability to formulate
research problems, conduct case studies and draw up research projects; ability to carry out chemical
synthesis and separation of pure substances; ability to determine the composition and specific and
applied properties of the obtained products; ability to generalize and interpret experimental data;
ability to supervise the progress of a chemical experiment; ability to assess the chemical risk that
chemical pollutants present to the environment and the human body; ability to develop
technological schemes specifying chemical stages, equipment and material and energy balance;
development and optimization of learning process in chemistry at the level of secondary education
institutions).
The holders of Bachelor's degree in Exact Scienses (speciality Chemistry) are demanded in
the labour market. They work as chemists for various branches of chemical industry and in
scientific research institutions.
