PhD in Chemical and Environmental Sciences

PhD in Chemical and Environmental Sciences

The primary aim in our doctoral school is to train scientists who can continue their creative scientific work related to leading fields of chemistry and environmental sciences after completion of their MSc studies. The doctoral school was established in 2000 as the highest level of education in chemistry and environmental sciences at the University of Pannonia. Since then, more than 125 degrees have been granted.

The structure of the program:

In the 8 semester long doctoral program at least 240 credits should be collected. In the first 4 semesters you can collect credits with studying (min. 48), teaching (max. 32) or publication and presentation of your scientific results in high quality journals and at various conferences. In the second two years you can collect credits exclusively with publication and presentation. A report on the scientific results achieved ought to be presented in every 2nd semester (for 20 credits each). For study, a choice of more than 80 subjects related to the main research fields in the doctoral school are offered, number of credits: 240.
