Description:

About the Programme

The Chemistry and Chemical Technologies doctoral study programme is offered by the Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. It is a full-time, four-year joint doctoral programme conducted in English in cooperation with the University of Chemistry and Technology in the Czech Republic. Graduates receive the academic degree of Doctor (PhD.).

Knowledge and Research Skills

Students develop advanced knowledge of chemical engineering, applied chemical kinetics, chemical reactor theory, thermodynamics, inorganic materials, catalysis, nanomaterials, and chemical technology processes.

The programme develops skills in evaluating kinetic data, designing and optimizing chemical reactors, simulating technological equipment, analyzing experimental results, and applying physicochemical principles to industrial processes. Students also learn to improve production quality, optimize resource use, and develop technical solutions for complex chemical engineering challenges.

Graduate Competencies

Graduates are prepared to conduct independent scientific research, analyze technical problems, coordinate projects, and develop innovative solutions for industrial and research applications. They acquire competencies in project management, quality control, technological research, teamwork, and professional communication.

The programme also emphasizes evaluating the environmental and economic impacts of industrial processes and improving production efficiency.

Career Opportunities

Graduates may pursue careers in chemical companies, pharmaceutical industries, universities, research institutes, consulting organizations, and commercial or technical businesses.

Potential roles include chemical specialist technologist, chemical research and development specialist, manager in chemical and pharmaceutical production, quality management specialist, metallurgical research specialist, environmental protection specialist, waste management specialist, and project manager.

Graduates may also work in glass, ceramics, refractory materials, building materials, water quality control, and other industrial technology sectors.

Programme Capacity

The planned intake is one student for each of the 2026/2027 and 2025/2026 academic years. The provided source does not specify the number of students admitted in either year.
