Sustainable Development in Chemistry and Technology

The aim is to be acquainted with some important theoretical disciplines enabling the assessment of environmental impact of industrial activity, the identification of environmental risks, and life cycle assessment. The interconnection of new and existing chemical technologies, their legal and administrative aspects with their environmental and socio-economic impact is emphasised. In the study programme, there is a link to the current requirements of practice and space for the involvement of experts from practice in the pedagogical process.

Guarantor of the study programme:​ doc. Ing. Anna Krejčová, Ph.D.

What will you learn?

Graduates of the study programme Sustainable Development in Chemistry and Technology have a full-fledged chemical-technological education, which is extended in the latest developments in low-waste chemical technologies, processing and recycling of waste products with regard to sustainable development strategy, concepts of green chemistry, life cycle, industrial ecology and environmental protection. The graduate is acquainted with some important new trends in theoretical disciplines enabling the assessment of environmental impact of industrial activity, the identification of environmental risks, and life cycle assessment. In addition to basic expertise, a multidisciplinary approach to the effective interconnection of chemical-technological and environmental issues is emphasised. The intersection of new and existing chemical technologies, their legal and administrative aspects with their environmental, social and economic impact is highlighted.

Your career prospects

In the study programme, the connection to the current requirements of practice is ensured, as well as the space for the involvement of experts from practice in the pedagogical process.  Education in this field at the general chemical-technological level combined with multidisciplinary environmental and socio-economic studies will enable you to get professional and managerial positions in industrial companies with chemical and non-chemical production (automotive, plastics processing, engineering, surface treatment, construction, etc.), research workplaces of various kinds and control laboratories, but also in state administration bodies of all levels.
