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.
