Description of the program:
Chemistry Master of Science (MSc) studies can be joined at the Faculty of Science of the 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 at the undergraduate level (BSc) will continue their knowledge at the 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 chemometric, Environmental technology, Pharmaceutical chemistry, Radiochemistry, and several more specific applied chemistry subjects. The education is composed of 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.
Admission requirements:
- Demonstrated evidence of an adequate level of English proficiency. Certified B2 intermediate English knowledge
