Level:  master academic studies

Upon end of the studies student will receive a title: Master of chemical engineering

The programme of master academic studies - Chemical Engineering represents a continuation of basic academic studies. The programme lasts one year (two semesters), i.e. 60 ECTS credits. Students, depending on the previous knowledge and personal affinities, can shoose between courses related to the environment protection or inorganic chemical technology. In each case, through compulsory subjects, they will acquire knowledge which will enable them to opt for a career in their preferable field. At this study programme, through compulsory and optional subjects students study theoretical basics of the phenomenon of transfer, thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions which take place in technological processes in the environment. They also study about the influence of technological processes on the environment pollution, industrial sources of polluting the environment, structure and characteristics of inorganic materials, basics of electrochemical engineering etc. Besides compulsory and optional subjects, at masters academic studies there is a subject in the second semester called Theoretical basics for writing a final diplomma paper. Within this subject students analyse and formulate hypothesis of research, present of plan of research, collect literature data, do experiments discussing the results. This subject represents the introduction to the final master's paper which brings 10 ESPB. The masters in Engineering technology includes tutorials, lectures, laboratory practice and research work.

The main aim is organisation and realisation of education process which will enable the masters in Chemical Engineering to acqure competences necessary for work. Methods which are used to realise this goal include up-to-date and interactive approaches to courses, which are completely integrated with laboratory and research work. During writing the final masters paper, students learn how to interpret the obtained experiment results with a suitable discussion. Such work of masters in Engineering Technology, with previously acquired knowledge on basic academic studies, provides them with good fundamental engineering education in certain fields such as phenomena of transfer and technological operations, thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions which take place in technological processes, the influence of technological processes on the state of the environment etc. All this aims at successful understanding, that masters in this field should have, of very complex aspects of wide range of industrial processes and their influence on the environment. With such integrated theoretical knowledge and laboratory researches they can deal with very complex issues in practice.

After they have completed their studies, masters in Chemical Engineering acquire the following competences: - Application of knowledge,understanding and dealing with problems in new and unknown surroundings in wider or multidisciplinary contexts connected with technical-technological field, - Understanding and dealing with problems in various situations which arise during the work connected to technical-technological field of work, - logical reasoning based on available data, formulating their own opinions, presumptions and making deductions - analysing, synthetising and anticipating solutions to problems and consequences - mastering of the methods, procedures and processes of research - placement and publishing various scientific and professional information, giving opinions and exchanging ideas, - professionally based interpretation of experimental data and application of knowledge in practice, - managing professional teams and organisations - forming an attitude on the necessity of permanent improvement and ability to apply professional ethics Apart from it all, students will be able process data using adequate softwares and they will be able to search and use up-to-date literature in different data bases. Besides, they will acquire extended knowledge in the field of environment protection. This will make it possible for them to continue their studies in PhD level.

The right to apply for the Master's academic studies is granted to candidates who have finished basic academic studies in the field of technical - technological csiences, such as Mining Engineering, Engineering Metallurgy and Chemical Engineering, with at least 240 ECTS sredits .
