University of Szeged - Where knowledge and challenge meet

Degree: Doctoral program in Chemistry, Phd

Duration of he course: 6 semesters

Language of tuition: English

Description of the programme: Chemistry PhD is a six-semester programme that involves both highly personalised graduate-level courses and conducting research in various areas of chemistry or at the boundaries of chemistry. Research in chemistry and allied sciences (e.g. biological chemistry, materials science, environmental sciences and drug development) has long-standing and internationally acknowledged traditions in the University of Szeged.

Of our great scientists of the past the name of Albert Szent-Györgyi must be mentioned in the first place, who received the Nobel Prize in 1937 for his groundbreaking research carried out at the University of Szeged. He was followed by excellent scientists, who continued in the tradition of the highest standards in teaching and research. Today chemistry is one of the flagship research areas of the University, and chemists contribute to the success of various research projects ranging from nanosciences to the discovery of new drugs.

The Chemistry Doctoral School features different programmes covering the major disciplines (e.g. physical chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry) as well as currently developing fields (e.g. theoretical chemistry, nanosciences, catalysis). The total enrolment is around 30, but applications of talented scholars are always welcome.
