Description of the Program:

Chemistry Master of Science (MSc) studies can be joined at the Faculty of Science of University of Pécs. The courses are open from September, each year, and are continued during a 4-semester cycle. The students who have studied chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and pharmacy in undergraduate level (BSc) will continue their knowledge at Master of Science level. The subjects of the Chemistry MSc studies include Advanced mathematics, Solid phase physics, Molecular biology, Coordination chemistry, Elemental organic chemistry, Advanced physical chemistry, Instrumental analysis, Theoretical chemistry, Organic chemistry of natural compounds, Surface chemistry, Proteins and protein networks, Advanced chemometry, Environmental technology, Pharmaceutical chemistry, Radiochemistry, and several more specific applied chemistry subjects. The education is composed from theoretical lectures, tutorial seminars and practical sessions. The students in the fourth semester prepare a diploma-work in an experimental topic, which will be defended, and they pass a general final exam for getting the diploma.
