POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

The Institute conducts the eldest in Poland four–year Ph.D. study. Since 1966 when the study was established over 270 scientists has obtained the Ph.D. degree. The number of Ph.D. students vary between 35 – 45.

The admision to the study is based on the entry examination which is organized once a year at the end of September. Successful candidates choose the Ph.D. supervisor and the program of their thesis. During four years the graduate students are required to attend 8 courses of advanced organic chemistry and spectroscopy of organic compounds, which end with examinations. The subjects of courses are:

• modern organic synthesis
• recent developments in the synthesis of natural products,
• stereochemistry and conformational analysis,
• selected problems of contemporary organic chemistry,
• NMR spectroscopy,
• mass spectrometry,
• organometallic chemistry,

Programs of doctoral dissertations are chosen from the current projects conducting by the selected supervisors.

The students are obliged to participate in the Institute and group seminars and other scientific activities organized by the Institute. All Ph.D. students receive scholarship from the Institute.
