Teaching at IMS
Study advisor: Pavel Šiler
The Institute provides teaching of the core subjects within the study at the Faculty of Chemistry in the field of general and inorganic chemistry, chemical engineering and macromolecular chemistry, including laboratory exercises. Other profile courses teach students knowledge and practical skills in the fields of building materials, polymers, composites, ceramic materials, metals and corrosion protection for applications in industry, medicine, clean and advanced technologies and in everyday life.
Graduate employment
The excellent employability of graduates in practice is supported by a range of interdisciplinary topics such as nanotechnology, functional materials, automation, digitalisation and modelling of chemical processes, fundamentals of electrical engineering and energy storage, materials recycling, 3D printing and applications of artificial intelligence in industry. Graduates are particularly in demand in process control, chemical plant management, and in the production and development of traditional and advanced materials, where they work primarily as technologists, production managers and researchers.
Specific employment opportunities for graduates of our study programme are:
- In the production and processing of plastics, rubbers and composites,
- in the cement and glass industries,
- in the production of ceramic and building materials,
- in the manufacture of synthetic and glass fibres,
- in the automotive and aerospace industries,
- semiconductors, electrical components and electronics,
- engineering and the production and processing of metallic materials,
- the manufacture and development of materials for medical applications,
- surface treatment of metallic and non-metallic materials,
- in the manufacture of sporting goods,
- the chemical and petrochemical industries,
- packaging and coatings,
- waste recycling.
