Chemical and Environmental Engineering

The Doctoral Program in Chemical and Environmental Engineering focuses on research and development in the fields of chemical, process, and environmental technologies.
Students engage in both theoretical and experimental research, particularly in areas such as mass and energy transport, chemical kinetics, and multiphase systems, using advanced analytical methods.

The program prepares students for independent scientific work, develops their skills in designing and optimizing technological processes, and fosters a deep understanding of the relationship between technology and the environment.
Graduates are highly valued in research, industry, and public administration, thanks to the program’s wide applicability and interdisciplinary nature.

Program Overview

This doctoral program allows you to actively participate in research projects that connect chemical engineering, environmental science, and process technology.
It is a direct continuation of master’s-level studies, providing a solid foundation for advanced scientific work.

The program covers topics such as recycling, catalysis, photocatalysis, air protection, pollution treatment, and the development of advanced materials and waste processing technologies.
You will also learn how to present your research results, write scientific publications, and participate in national and international conferences.

Why Study This Field?

Because the world needs experts who understand both chemical processes and ecological context.
Thanks to its interdisciplinary approach, you will learn to think technically while also seeking sustainable solutions for industry and society.

This program opens doors not only to academic careers, but also to industrial and research positions requiring top-level expertise in development, production, and sustainability.
You’ll work in modern laboratories, often in direct collaboration with industrial partners.

Practical Focus of the Studies

From day one, you’ll be involved in research activities — whether in the laboratory or through simulations and modeling.
You will work on a specific project as part of your doctoral dissertation, under the supervision of an experienced advisor.

Research topics include:

• Reactor and separation processes
• Heat and mass transfer
• Process optimization
• Waste utilization and disposal
• Chemical and environmental analysis
• Design of new technologies with environmental consideration

The program can be completed in either full-time or combined form, making it possible to combine studies with professional work in the field.

Upon successful completion, you will have:

• deep knowledge of physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, transport phenomena, and reactor engineering,
• a solid understanding of modern pollution treatment methods, photocatalysis, and air protection,
• the ability to analyze complex problems, design experiments, and develop new technologies,
• skills in presenting and publishing scientific results,
• experience in project and team management,
• the competence to create solutions that combine scientific precision with practical impact.

As a doctoral graduate of this program, many career paths are open to you. You can work as a:

• researcher in development centers or research institutes,
• chemist or process engineer in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, or energy industries,
• specialist in waste management and environmental protection,
• lecturer or scientist at universities,
• expert in public administration, influencing environmental policy and strategies.

Thanks to the program’s emphasis on research and strong links to industry, you will have a real opportunity to shape the future of both industry and the environment.
