Military University of Technology

The field of studies in Chemistry is conducted in the field of exact sciences, in the field of chemical sciences and in the discipline of chemistry, and is related to the other fields of study conducted by the Faculty, i.e. materials science and chemistry and engineering of special-purpose materials. The adopted concept of education in this field assumes the preparation of engineering staff for 1st and 2nd degree studies for the needs of the Polish Armed Forces (officers in the personnel corps: defense against weapons of mass destruction and the identification and elimination of contamination) and the national economy (chemical specialists in the field of materials and chemical rescue as well as explosives and pyrotechnics).

The main goal of education is to obtain by graduates of all levels of studies high qualifications (knowledge, skills and social competences) necessary in the processes of designing, manufacturing and safe use of various substances and chemical products, including toxic industrial agents and other hazardous materials (explosive, pyrotechnics, radioactive materials).

In addition, graduates gain knowledge and skills in the field of dealing with hazardous waste (neutralization, disposal, recycling) and preventing accidents in the chemical and fuel industry, and in the event of their occurrence, also minimizing and eliminating their effects. These goals are implemented on the basis of thorough knowledge and skills acquired by the student during the study of basic and major subjects, especially general, inorganic and organic chemistry, chemical analysis, chemical engineering, chemical technology, materials engineering, spectroscopy, crystallography and computational methods in chemistry, including CHEM-CAD design systems, as well as specialized subjects, such as chemistry of poisons and decontamination processes, technical and chemical rescue, protection against contamination, dosimetry and dosimetry devices, pyrotechnics, high-energy materials, nuclear chemistry and physics, chemistry and explosives technology, explosion physics and explosion forecasting, chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. The specificity of training chemists at the Military University of Technology is therefore the focus of the program on the broadly understood chemistry and technology of hazardous materials as well as chemical and technical rescue.
