study specialization TECHNOLOGY OF ORGANIC SPECIALITIES
in study programme N2808 CHEMISTRY AND TECHNOLOGY OF MATERIALS (in Czech)
The branch of Technology of organic specialties has been oriented to medium-scale organic specialties, such as organic dyes (their properties, synthesis, production, applications, intermediates), pharmaceuticals (their properties, synthesis, production, intermediates) and photochemistry. In the context of dyestuffs and photochemistry, it also intensively deals with photo-physics and quantum-chemical calculations at application level. From the pedagogical standpoint, deep theoretical foundations of the areas mentioned are complemented by laboratory training, where it is our aim to teach practical skills, so that a graduate should be really able to synthesise dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals and their intermediates, get well oriented over their commercial production, be able to realise photochemical reactions, analyse reaction mixtures and products. In this way, the laboratory training represents a backbone in the education of undergraduates.

study specialization ORGANIC CHEMISTRY in study programme ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
The objective of the doctoral program "Organic Chemistry" is to educate specialists for leading positions in industry, pharmaceutical companies, synthetic laboratories, research institutes, and development departments both at private companies, universities and other governmental institutions. The PhD graduate can be characterized as a highly qualified specialist in organic chemistry, with deep theoretical background in inorganic, organic, physical and analytical chemistry, good knowledge of synthetic methodologies, kinetics methods and analytical techniques (separations, mass and NMR spectroscopy) using advanced computation approaches for data evaluation and treatment, in agreement with good laboratory practice and management. The PhD graduate is able to develop syntheses and characterizations of new organic and organometallic compounds according to the practical needs, to plan the research work and make decisions on solving complex synthetic and analytical problems and to lead a team of co-workers. Emphasis is put on the communication abilities of the graduate - he or she is trained to be able to refer on the results of his group, both as an oral presentation or as a high-level report or a standard publication in a scientific journal.
study specialization ORGANIC TECHNOLOGY in study programme CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES
It provides the theoretical and practical subjects of modern technology of organic compounds, esp. organic dyes and pigments, drugs, biologically active compounds and their intermediates. Molecular modelling, photochemistry, photo physic and basic course in quantum chemistry complement these studies which the student chooses from the very vide range of subjects offered throughout the University. The result is a highest degree that is of immediate relevance to an industry of fine chemicals manufacture, research institutes and universities.
