Level:  doctoral academic studies

Upon end of the studies student will receive a title: Doctor of science – chemical engineering

The programme includes five compulsory and five optional subjects which are connected to defining a dissertation topic and doing a doctor's thesis. A student can choose, according to his affinities and coaching of his mentor, any combination of optional subjects which are related directly or indirectly to the topic of a doctor's thesis. The study programme of Chemical Engineering represents a direct continuation of the academic master's programme in Chemical Engineering. The programme clearly defines total number of ECTS subjects and research work, which directly relate to the realisation of the doctor's dissertation, as well as the number of credits for the doctor's dissertation itself. The doctor's dissertation is a final part of doctoral studies together with a research work which relates to defining a dissertation topic.

The study programme aims at educating and enabling students for scientific research in the field of Chemical Engineering. After completing doctoral studies, Doctors of Science gain in-depth competence in this field, which enables them to carry out research work successfully in this field. By having an insight into current scientific literature, students are supposed to discover how broad the scientific knowledge in the field of the doctoral thesis is, how up-to-date the topic for the research is. They should also anticipate further courses of the development and research. At the same time students should know how to formulate a scientific hypothesis, to plan and set out experiments, choose up-to-date methods, elaborate results of research, interpret them fully, analyse them in a scientific and critical way, make some logical deductions and present results in the form of a final scientific paperwork.

After completion of technological studies doctors of science can apply their expertise to the resolution of complex operational issues in the field of chemical engineering. They should be motivators of the incentives for development and scientific researches. Doctors of science should be enabled to participate in international scientific projects, to understand and use the latest findings in the field of Chemical Engineering, to develop their creativity and follow ethical code during scientific research. They should also acquire a satisfactory level of written and oral communication skills and present their research results independently, as well as present their work at international science conferences and publish the results in leading science journals. All this makes it possible for doctors of Chemical Engineering to be leaders of science and economic progress in society and, of course, the knowlege that they have acquired can be accessible to the scientists worldwide, since their results will be published in international journals.

A person who has completed Bachelor's degree and Masters academic degree with the mean mark 8 (eight) at least.
