The programme ‘Chemical Materials Science’ provides its students with the knowledge and skills necessary to work in high-tech companies in the field of: materials science and nanotechnology; and the synthesis, research and application of new functional materials. The teaching and learning process with the programme courses is unique in that it provides increased number of academic hours for interactive classes and workshops. A substantial part of the curriculum is devoted to research and project work from the 1st year of study. The curriculum provides for individual educational trajectories. The programme gives students an understanding of the peculiarities of synthesis, research and application of novel functional materials. It also combines all areas of knowledge necessary for this in the field of chemistry, physics, and other related disciplines.
