Profile of the graduate
The graduate has a general overview in chemistry fields and a detailed overview of aspects of organic chemistry usable in practice both in chemistry research and experimental work as well as in the management of projects or a chemical laboratory. He is able to propose research projects, plan a solution strategy, lead the team, formulate reports, and prepare the manuscripts of publications. A broad overview gained in the multi-thematic environment of the university allows for a considerable degree of adaptability both with regard to the topics being processed and the work position.
