Situated in the heart of the European Union, it has students from all around the world. The university education at the Faculty of Natural Sciences is free, meaning that you don’t have to pay tuition if you study here – no matter what country you come from. The Faculty of Natural Sciences of the CU offers many undergraduate and graduate programs, teaching students about all aspects of the natural world. One of these programs is the chemistry master’s degree (MSc.), which is being completely taught in English language.
Specializations
The chemistry master’s study program at the Comenius University allows you to select one of the following four specializations at the start of your studies. Your lectures and your research experience will be shaped by which of these specializations you choose.
Bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry
On the interface of biological sciences and chemistry, this specialization allows you to learn skills necessary in development and synthesis of new drugs or how to use chemical methods to study living systems.
Molecular materials
This specialization provides you with knowledge and skills to develop and synthesize new functional materials, such as materials for molecular electronics, optoelectronics or molecular machines.
Material chemistry of solids
This specialization allows you to master skills necessary for development, synthesis and application of inorganic materials, such as nanomaterials.
Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry
Leaning heavily towards practical applications, this specialization trains future analytical chemists skilled in the use and development of modern instrumental analytical techniques.
