Key learning outcomes Based on the current state of scientific knowledge, the aim of the study is to provide theoretical education and laboratory skills in advanced organic chemistry, methods of structural analysis, analytical separation techniques, food analysis and the study of properties and structure of chemicals. Students will gain not only deep theoretical knowledge in the application of instrumental methods, but also the ability to use independently selected instruments and interpret the results. Considerable emphasis is also placed on understanding and recognizing the relationships between chemicals and on evaluating the influence of external conditions. Students will learn to apply this knowledge in solving practical problems in the fields of chemistry and analysis of food, additives and food supplements and further related areas. The aim of the study in this programme is also the cultivation of free thinking, independent scientific research and comprehensive support of the creative spirit.
Specific admission requirements Completed Bachelor's or Master's studies in a related degree programme and course, academic performance during previous higher education.
Specific provisions for recognition of prior learning General Rules for the Recognition of Previous Studies
Qualification requirements and regulations Completed higher education - Bachelors dergee.
