During
the 7 semesters of their study, students attend to
lectures and conduct practical laboratory work
on fundamental disciplines.  Then they choose their specialization. 
After finishing courses in inorganic
chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry
a term paper is prepared. 

Besides the basis curricula there
are 5 special groups on: physical (theoretical) chemistry, radiochemistry and
radioecology, chemistry of polymers, high temperature superconductors and
computational methods in chemistry.  In these groups students are engaged under
special curricula, in which much more time is devoted to quantum chemistry,
kinetics and catalysis, methods of investigation and analysis of polymers and
other disciplines.

Bachelor and Master degrees

Bachelor DegreeThe term of study: 4 years, full timeDirection: Chemistry

To get the Bachelor degree,
during 7th and 8th semesters, students attend to special courses on the chosen
specialization in addition to general courses. 

Master DegreeThe term of study: 2 years, full timeDirection: “Chemistry”

Training for Master degree combines theoretical courses with practical
and research laboratory work.  At the end of their term of study
students prepare a Master's thesis.
