Nuclear Chemistry

about the programme

The Nuclear Chemistry master’s programme deepens students’ knowledge of chemistry, physics, and mathematics in areas such as radioecology, biology, and medicine. Students learn about processes occurring in the atomic nucleus, as well as their applications in power engineering, industry, healthcare, and environmental protection. Thanks to the combination of advanced theory and laboratory courses, students select their field of interest, which is then reflected in their master’s thesis and state final exam subject. Studies are complemented by excursions, seminars, and practical training in partner institutions.

Programme content

Students will attend core courses focused on:

  • advanced laboratory courses of nuclear and radiation chemistry,
  • chemistry of radiopharmaceuticals,
  • fuel cycle technology.

career prospects

Graduates find employment in chemical and technical fields, power engineering, healthcare, environmental protection, and biology. They work in nuclear safety, radiation protection, and radiopharmaceutical production, as well as in hospitals or institutions such as the State Office for Nuclear Safety, the Radioactive Waste Repository Authority, or the National Radiation Protection Institute.
