Chemistry

This Chemistry programme from Masaryk University aims at training highly skilled specialists in five specialization
fields of study -analytical, inorganic, physical, materials, and
organic chemistry.

Training of doctoral students is carried out at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and is based on scientific research and independent creative activity in selected fields and areas of research or development.

Career opportunities

Graduates of the Chemistry programme from Masaryk University according to their specialization field find employment at university departments, at institutes of Academy of Sciences, at various research institutes and control laboratories in private firms and government institutions.

Further opportunities are found in chemical, pharmaceutical, electronic, and food industries, laboratories in the fields of environmental protection, health care, agriculture and biotechnology. They also find employment in areas of development and production of instrumentation and also in qualified sale and service. Graduates are flexible and easily adapt to various requirements of chemistry oriented companies and they are trained not only for professional careers in their specialization, but their wide-ranging education allows them to adjust easily for careers in other fields as well.

By their work in research teams and by their educational work in bachelor and master degree programs, the doctoral students also cultivate their ability to lead younger colleagues. By that they acquire further essential experience for their expected professional role as the executives. Language skills, international contacts, and study stays abroad allows graduates to find employment also at foreign leading institutions.

Courses include:

• Development of methodology and instrumentation in the field of spectrometry and analytical

• Instrumental analysis of inorganic, organic and biological samples.

• Analytical applications and characterization of nanomaterials.

• Synthesis and characterization of metal complexes and coordination polymers

• Synthesis of organometallic compounds and studies of their structure and properties

• Synthesis of molecular compounds as precursors to new materials

• Physical-chemical characterization of compounds and materials – studies of their properties by modern research methods
