Chemistry at Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa (UJD) is a two-year (4-semester) Master's programme (second-cycle) with a general academic profile, taught in English. It is addressed to graduates of first-cycle Chemistry and to holders of other degrees who have the chemical background needed to continue at Master's level.

Programme: advanced chemistry and teamwork

The programme develops, among others:

• advanced knowledge of chemical sciences, related natural sciences, biochemistry and materials engineering,
• synthesis, separation, composition analysis and structure determination of compounds, polymers and metal alloys with classical and instrumental methods,
• planning laboratory work and chemical processes with risk minimisation,
• formulating hypotheses and conclusions from experiments and analyses carried out in a team,
• linking chemical processes taking place in the broadly understood environment with chemical knowledge.

Specialisation: drugs or the environment

Drug Chemistry covers the synthesis, isolation and identification of pharmacopoeial substances, modern methods of controlled drug release, pharmacopoeial methods of quantitative analysis of pharmaceuticals and phytotherapy. It also develops your technical English in chemistry.

Environmental Chemistry and Technology focuses on environmental chemistry, water and sewage technology, soil remediation and separation techniques for removing pollutants.

Labs: mostly experimental classes

Classes are mostly experimental. You graduate with experience in laboratory work in chemical analysis and synthesis and in physicochemical measurements. You also have access to the department's computer lab, and research clubs let you take your interests further.

Exchanges: Erasmus+ and COLOURS

International programmes and trips are available, for example within the Erasmus+ programme and the COLOURS European University.

After graduation: expert and managerial roles, or a doctorate

After graduation you can:

• work as a manager or expert in chemical, cosmetic and pharmacological laboratories – industrial and research – and in chemical and food industry plants,
• take managerial roles in education, science, industry and administration,
• work in marketing and sales for chemical, biotechnological, pharmaceutical and biomedical companies,
• continue at the Doctoral School if you want to pursue scientific research.
