1.4.2. Analytical Chemistry

1. Languages of education: Russian, English (optional)

2. Campus: Rostov-on-Don, Faculty of Chemistry

Program Overview:

Training of highly qualified scientific and pedagogical personnel in the scientific specialty 1.4.2 - Analytical chemistry. Training of broad-based professionals capable of successfully competing in the modern international market of chemists. The study of the theoretical foundations and areas of application of physico-chemical analysis methods for structural and quantitative research in chemistry. Formation of ideas about which physico-chemical methods are most effective for studying chemical transformations in molecular and nanoscale systems. Formation of in-depth ideas about the latest achievements in the field of asymmetric and classical synthesis and catalysis, their application in practical work when performing research. Formation of skills and abilities to analyze and predict practically significant properties of chemicals and materials based on their composition and structure. Mastering the theoretical foundations and practical application of methods for planning multifactorial scientific experiments, as well as the basics of correlation, regression and variance analyses, techniques for statistical processing of experimental results and metrological support for analytical control. Formation of graduate students' understanding of a chemist as a professional who is well versed in various methods of synthesis of complex organic, inorganic metal complex compounds, capable of purposefully obtaining a variety of compounds with specified practically useful properties. Obtaining modern knowledge and skills of practical work in the field of inorganic, contributing to the implementation of the experiment, generalization and analysis of its results, writing a PhD thesis in chemistry on their basis and its further successful defense.

The postgraduate educational program determines the planned results of its development - the results of scientific (research) activities, the results of mastering disciplines (modules), the results of practical training.

A graduate who has completed a postgraduate program must have the following universal competencies:
