Master Programmes in English

Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Engineering

The “Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Engineering” study programme reflects the strong demand for hydrogen technology specialists on the European labour market. This programme is a Master programme culminating with the Czech title Ing. (equivalent to an MSc.). Applicants should hold a Bachelor degree in Chemical Technology, Chemical Engineering, or an equivalent degree. The programme is taught in English (minimum B2 level competency).

Core theoretical subjects are complemented with hands-on laboratory experiments with project-oriented instruction, equipping graduates with practical problem-solving skills they can use throughout their future careers. Students receive instruction in the basic and specialized technologies associated with the use of hydrogen in the energy, transport, and chemical commercial sectors. Project-based tasks and presentations further prepare graduates for the workplace. Students can specialize in hydrogen production, hydrogen utilization, or the mathematical modelling of processes/entire systems.

Chemistry (Organic Chemistry)

The programme is designed for students who are interested in studying basic chemical disciplines. The study of the specialization Organic Chemistry provides students with a comprehensive education in the field with an emphasis on mastering the methods of synthesis of organic compounds; understanding the mechanisms of organic reactions; and with an overlap into physical, analytical and organometallic chemistry and catalysis. An important part of the programme is experimental work in the laboratory, through which students acquire practical skills and the ability to pursue independent scientific work. This programme is also intended for students studying in the Double Degree programmes according to individual bilateral agreements between the UCT Prague and a university abroad, where students usually complete one year at their home universities and one year at universities abroad.

Chemistry, Technology and Materials

The study programme “Chemistry, Technology, and Materials” consists of two specializations, “Chemistry and Chemical Technology” and “Materials Chemistry and Technology”. This programme is designed as a follow-up Master programme (culminating with a Master degree and the Czech title Ing., the equivalent of an MSc.). The programmes builds upon prior education of graduates with bachelor degrees (Bc.) from the UCT Prague “Chemistry and Technology” bachelor programme or an equivalent bachelor programme at a university or comparable institution abroad. The programme is taught in English (requiring, at a minimum, B2 level English language skills) and is designed for students that cannot or do not wish to enrol in a Czech language programme.

Sustainability and Environmental Engineering

The programme prepares experts with expert knowledge of environmental chemistry, microbiology, hydrobiology, water and atmosphere technologies, decontamination technologies, and waste handling technologies. The interdisciplinary character of this programme prepares graduates for careers in all areas related to environmental protection and engineering. The programme provides students with a comprehensive knowledge of environmental protection and engineering, including air, water, and soil protection. The programme emphasizes expert education about waste production from both industrial and municipal sources and concentrates on the prevention and minimization of waste production, on waste utilization and reprocessing, waste removal, and assessment of environmental impacts. An important part of the programme is devoted to water technologies and air protection technologies. The programme also includes education about industrial toxicology, ecotoxicology, environmental analysis, decontamination technologies, and environmentally-oriented legislation.

Biotechnology and Food Science

The programme prepares graduates to become experts with high-level knowledge in biotechnologies and bioingeneering and food science, with an emphasis on food quality and safety. The broadly designed structure of this programme—together with intentional connection between chemical, biological, and engineering education—opens a wide range of career options to graduates. The programme extends and deepens general knowledge gained at the Bachelor level in biochemistry, organic and physical chemistry, biology, microbiology, food technology and analysis, and in the fundamentals in biotechnology and bioengineering. Students may hone their expertise by properly choosing elective courses.

Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering

Chemical engineering concerns itself with the transformation and processing of raw materials into useful products that we encounter in our everyday lives (e.g., packaging, plastics, food, medicine). As a chemical engineer, you will learn to understand, describe, and model various processes to design, manage, and optimize the necessary production equipment for efficient, economical, safe, and environmentally friendly process operation. You can participate in developing new materials or unique technologies based on tailored functional properties of micro- and nanostructures. An integral part of the programme involves laboratory work, during which you will conduct specific research projects. Numerous possibilities for excursions and internships will bring you the opportunity to visit the top companies in the field where you can continue your professional career after graduation.

Sectoral Management

The MSc programme prepares highly skilled professionals for mid- and top-level management positions in industry, industrial policy, innovation policy, commercial policy and finance, while allowing further pursuit of academic and research careers in PhD programmes. The programme has two specializations, Innovation Project Management and Chemical Industry, and offers top-tier business science education, assuring a high demand for graduates from prospective employers together with a wide range of international career perspectives.
