Nuclear Chemistry Czech Technical University (CTU)

Overview

Nuclear Chemistry is a scientific discipline concerned with the properties of matter and phenomena of chemical and physico-chemical nature, having origin in the nucleus of the atom, in which the nucleus and its transformations play a participative role.

Understanding the properties of the nucleus and its behaviour, can often be immensely helpful in studying and finding solutions to many problems – not only of chemical nature. Such insight, however, is to be based on solid foundations of chemistry and physics.

Outcomes

Analytical and complex approach to problems to be solved gives graduates at the Czech Technical University (CTU) a chance to be efficient members of staff in research and development institutions, in industry, health care, power engineering, or protection of the environment.

Their competences in planning and finding solutions to tricky problems and being responsible for their decisions makes graduates good candidates for managerial posts even in non-nuclear sectors.

Being systematic and conscientious about their responsibilities, which is a peculiar characteristic of the graduates, is a good recommendation for jobs in supervisory bodies and professional institutions like the State Office for Nuclear Safety (SÚJB), Radioactive Waste Repository Authority (SÚRAO), or the National Radiation Protection Institute (SÚRO), and others.

Graduates are also academically qualified to study for a PhD, e.g. in Nuclear Chemistry, or some other doctoral programme in other chemical or nuclear disciplines.
