ANNOTATION OF THE PROGRAMME

The Masters degree programme is designed in such a way that students may sub-specialise in the following branches of chemistry: inorganic chemistry; chemical monitoring of environment; organic chemistry; food chemistry and expertise; didactics of chemistry; physical chemistry; environmental chemistry; bioorganic chemistry.

The programme consists of 2 parts:

A compulsory part 66 credits contains the main courses of specialisation, which are necessary for academic education in the chemistry. The research project related to the specialisation has to be worked out and its thesis defended.

B option part 14 credits contains different courses of chemistry and fields related to the programme.

Master’s thesis is a result of an original theoretical or experimental research in chemistry. The research results should meet the requirements for publishing in a journal of chemistry. The thesis must be defended at the end of studies. Supervisor of this work can be a staff member of the University of Latvia or a scientist of a research institute.
