Applied analytical and bioanalytical chemistry

Education goals and profile of graduates

The study program encourages the principles of scientific work, its ethical and social aspects, scientific problem formulation, presentation and publication of scientific results, provides the necessary knowledge for the development of the scientific and study field, emphasizes the link between research and development - application and evaluation of one's own contribution to practice. Also creative activity of the graduate in the field of analytical chemistry and chemical analysis.
Students are also involved in solving scientific projects, thereby developing and deepening the principles of scientific work, solving complex problems, analytical and synthetic thinking, and a sense of teamwork. The goal of study in the doctoral study program Applied Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry is the development of intellectual and creative abilities, practical skills of the student. The graduate has an active command of a foreign language (English), is able to work in a team, forecast developments in his field. As part of the study, he will deepen the knowledge of analytical and bioanalytical chemistry necessary for the development of analytical methods and procedures, as well as for the development of analytical chemistry instrumentation, he will learn the principles of scientific work, forms of processing and presentation of results. He will gain experimental skills and experience working with modern devices. He will be able to search, process and interpret information from available sources (scientific databases, professional publications). He knows how to process, publish and present the obtained results at scientific events.

Graduates of doctoral studies

The graduate of the study program is able to independently and creatively work scientifically in various areas of application of analytical chemistry, as well as in border disciplines related to analytical chemistry, while preference is given to analytical orientation in the direction of biological sciences linked to chemistry, such as biochemistry, pharmaceutical and clinical chemistry, laboratory medicine and biotechnology. The graduate masters scientific approaches and research methodology in selected application areas of analytical chemistry and obtains solutions using separation, electrochemical, spectral, magnetochemical, or other instrumental methods (nuclear, thermal, etc.). He is also able to design, manage and objectively evaluate problem-oriented experiments, focused on serious problems of contemporary social practice. From an analytical point of view, it is usually more deeply specialized in some problem areas, such as analysis of components in multicomponent matrices, trace analysis, analysis of harmful substances in the environment, characterization and prediction of properties of new materials, etc. It contributes to obtaining a decision in areas beyond the scope of analytical chemistry.

The graduate will find employment not only in scientific research, but also in a wide range of areas of social practice. It is applied in quality assurance and management, in environmental monitoring, in in pharmaceutical and clinical chemistry, in laboratory medicine , as well as in food industry or other related industries.

Has management skills, that enable him/her to effectively use applied analytical and bioanalytical chemistry in practice, lead a research team, plan team tasks and coordinate projects. The graduate also has knowledge of  environmental, economic, legal and ethical contexts of their profession.

Based on the acquired knowledge and experience, he/she is also qualified to work in a university environment as teacher of specialized chemical subjects.
