Level:  master academic studies

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

The full course workload of the master academic study program has been assigned 60 ECTS credits. The study program comprises active teaching and research work towards master thesis. Active teaching is delivered in the first semester of study and encompasses compulsory and elective courses in the total workload of at least 30 ECTS credits. In the second semester of studies, the work towards master thesis is carried out and is equivalent to a workload of 30 ECTS credits. Master work represents a student's scientific-research work in the field of the study program. The goal is that the students gain experience and competence to conduct scientific research independently. The defense of master thesis is public, and both the thesis and defense are evaluated by the committee composed of the supervisor and at least two members.

The study program is intended to educate master chemical engineers, with specialized professional knowledge, who will assume a leading role in economy and society. Besides, the program is aimed that these professionals will have a basic knowledge of scientific-research methodology as the basis for further education at doctoral studies. The program is also designed to be flexible, various and accordingly accessible to engineers of different disciplines, such as environmental, materials and mechanical engineers, for broadening their basic, previously gained knowledge. In addition to compulsory courses of basic sciences, offered is a wide range of elective courses providing specialization in chemical processing, pharmaceutical, polymer and electrochemical engineering, organic and inorganic chemical technology, and quality control. Besides, offered are courses in the fields of economics, management and environmental engineering intended to train the students for the development of cleaner processes on the principles of sustainable development and environmental protection. The objective is to acquaint the students with the methodology of scientific research, to develop their capacity for the critical analysis and synthesis of various ideas as well as their communication skills to present in writing and orally their ideas, results, and conclusions as well as relevant problems and approaches to problems solving. The ultimate objective is that the study program provides professionals needed for economic progress of the society on the principles of sustainable development as well as professionals who will be able to advance in scientific research.

By completing the master academic study program in Chemical Engineering the students gain the following general knowledge and competences: - ability to analyze the problems and independently devise approaches to problem solving on the basis of integrating knowledge from various disciplines with their own judgments; - ability to apply methods and procedures of scientific research; - capability for applying new ideas and solutions in practice; - knowledge of professional ethics. Students also gain specific professional abilities in the field of chemical engineering: - specialized theoretical and professional knowledge in certain fields of chemical engineering such as chemical processing, pharmaceutical, polymer and electro-chemical engineering, organic and inorganic technology and quality control ; - ability for solving complex problems in chemical engineering practice; - professional knowledge and abilities needed for monitoring, critical analysis and application of innovations in the field of chemical engineering; - competence for the creation and implementation of principles of sustainable development of economy and society.
