The Organic Chemistry doctoral programme educates specialists for leading positions in industry, pharmaceutical companies, synthetic laboratories, research institutes, and development departments at private companies, universities, and other governmental institutions. PhD graduates are highly qualified specialists in organic chemistry, with deep theoretical backgrounds in inorganic, organic, physical, and analytical chemistry. Graduates have a strong foundation of knowledge in synthetic methodologies, kinetics methods and analytical techniques (separations, mass and NMR spectroscopy) using advanced computational approaches for data evaluation and treatment, and learn best practices for laboratory work and management. Graduates are able to develop syntheses and characterisations of new organic and organometallic compounds, plan, organise, and lead research work, and make decisions when solving complex synthetic and analytical problems. This study programme emphasises devolving communication; graduates are trained to be able to communicate the results of their teams, both orally and in high-level reports or standard publications in a scientific journal.
