Introduction
At the Faculty of Chemical Technology, students may focus their professional profiles towards specialized fields: the production and properties of metals, glass, or ceramic materials; plastics and rubber; biocompatible materials; and nano- or submicron-scale structured materials. Students can also focus on a more theoretical program exceeding the scope of the foundational program. During the course of the program, students choose one of three specializations offered.
You can choose from one of three specializations offered by this faculty.
Specialization - Chemical Technology
The Chemical Technology program focuses on deepening knowledge in chemical technology (inorganic and organic) or in pharmaceutical technology and synthesis. In addition to the common foundation program, students can focus on the study of new types of energy sources, catalysis, raw materials treatment, the production processes for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and other specialized interests.
Specialization - Chemistry, and Technology of Materials
This specialization focuses on the study of relations between the chemical structure and physical properties of materials. Students deepen their knowledge of the properties, application, and processing aspects of glass and ceramics, metals and alloys, plastics and rubber, materials for electronics, or composite structures.
Students can also learn about materials corrosion and prevention, the application of hybrid and biomaterials, and the surface functionalization of materials.
Specialization - Chemistry
The main aim of this specialization is to prepare students for their Master's degree studies. The specialization Chemistry focuses on the knowledge of the physicochemical principles of chemical and biochemical processes and on the understanding of the fundamentals of inorganic and organic synthesis.

Career Opportunities
The main aim of this program is to prepare graduates for Master's studies in related branches at UCT Prague or at universities abroad (the latter option is facilitated by the opportunity to obtain a EuroBachelor degree upon graduation). Graduates are prepared for qualified positions in specialized workplaces such as production plants in metallurgical, glass-making, ceramics, polymers, automotive, and other industries. Graduates also find qualified jobs in research and development institutions and laboratories.
Specialization - Chemical Technology
In addition to further study in a Master's degree program in related branches, graduates can pursue careers in the pharmaceuticals and chemical production industries and in development and research companies or laboratories focused on chemical or pharmaceutical technology.
Specialization - Chemistry, and Technology of Materials
If graduates decide not to pursue a Master's degree, they will find employment in the production and processing of materials industrial sector. Graduates will have sufficient knowledge to apply for positions in R&D companies or laboratories focused on the testing and quality control of materials.
Specialization - Chemistry
Graduates can pursue subsequent Master's degree studies focused on the natural sciences, either at UCT Prague or abroad. Graduates have excellent theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and experience in basic natural scientific disciplines.
