Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Technology (Faculty of Environmental Technology) University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague

At the Faculty of Environmental Technology, studies cover all fundamental areas of chemistry and environmental chemistry and all related disciplines such as ecology, hydrochemistry, wastewater treatment, atmospheric chemistry, and environmental microbiology. The principle of sustainable development represents an important part of the study curriculum with a special emphasis on its biological, chemical, and technological aspects.

Students can choose one of two specializations offered by this faculty.

Specialization - Sustainability and Environmental Engineering

In addition to the core study program, students focus on environmental chemistry and engineering; water, soil, and air contamination; toxicology; and ecotoxicology. They will also undergo training in laboratories focused on various aspects of environmental analysis.

Specialization - Fuels processing and utilization

In addition to the core study program, students focus on fuel production, analysis, and power engineering (including nuclear) with respect to related pollution control.

Theoretical lectures are augmented by practical laboratory training in fuel analysis.

The main aim of this study program is to prepare graduates for Master's studies at UCT Prague as well as for qualified positions in specialized workplaces. Graduates have excellent theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and experience in basic natural scientific disciplines. Due to a broad selection of semi-optional and elective courses, graduates of the program can pursue careers in many branches of human activity. Graduates find employment in administrative institutions; in industrial and agriculture companies; in research, development, and design institutions; and in customs and transportation companies. They are prepared for positions in the communication media sector requiring an engineering approach to ecological problems as well as for managerial positions.

Specialization - Sustainability and Environmental Engineering

This specialization prepares graduates for positions in environment protection within private companies, for official positions in governmental and municipal environmental protection agencies, and for research/independent entrepreneurial careers in related areas.

Specialization - Fuels processing and utilization

Graduates of the specialization will be ready to get positions in the petrochemical and gas industry, power engineering, and in related service companies, researchers and entrepreneurs.
