  • Ability to apply knowledge, understanding, and problem-solving skills to new and unusual circumstances within broader (or multidisciplinary) areas associated with chemical sciences;
  • Ability to integrate knowledge and deal with complex situations, form judgements despite incomplete information while being firmly aware of the ethical responsibilities of applying one’s knowledge and judgement;
  • Ability to clearly and unequivocally communicate decisions, knowledge, and arguments supporting these decisions to the professional and lay public in their own and in the English language;
  • Study skills that are required for lifelong learning and continuous, autonomous, and self-directed professional development.

- An in-depth knowledge and understanding of the facts, concepts, principles and theories of the main chemical disciplines;
- Applying this knowledge to solve chemical problems, even in new contexts, using innovative methodology and critical assessment of the reliability of results;
- The ability to apply and build on sound experimental science and practice;
- Safe and independent work in the laboratory and the ability to assess risk and ensure safe procedures when handling chemicals;
- Perform complex laboratory procedures and use instruments in the synthesis and analysis of organic and inorganic substances;
- Monitor, observe and measure chemical properties, events and changes and record and document them systematically and reliably;
- Interpreting experimental data and observations, relating them to relevant theory, and building on simpler theories with new insights.

The knowledge that the student has previously acquired through various forms of education may be recognised if it corresponds to the study content of the courses taught in the master’s programme in Chemistry. The recognition of previously acquired knowledge and skills is subject to the decision of the Senate of the FKKT or a body appointed by the Senate. The student should submit a written application and provide certificates and other documents evidencing the successfully acquired knowledge and adequate content.
The Senate of the FKKT or a body appointed by the Senate shall consider the following criteria when deciding on the recognition of knowledge acquired prior to enrolment:

  • Adequacy of admission requirements for the programme (required education necessary for admission to the programme);
  • Comparability of the scope of the programme (number of hours of prior education with regard to the scope of the course) to be recognised,
  • Adequacy of content of the programme with regard to the content of the course to be recognised.
  • Previously acquired knowledge can be recognised if admission requirements for the previous programme were similar to the admission requirements for the master’s programme in Chemistry, if at least 75% of the scope of the course is covered by prior education, and if at least 75% of the teaching content correspond to the course to be recognised. If the Senate of the FKKT or a body appointed by the Senate establishes that previously acquired knowledge may be recognised, this is allocated the same number of ECTS credits as for the course.

For enrolment in the second year, students must obtain 50 ECTS credits from the first year; of those, they must pass the following first-year courses: Physical Chemistry II, Mathematics II, Advanced Methods of Instrumental Analysis (a total of 15 credits of the required 50 credits).

The FKKT body, which is stipulated in the school’s regulations, may exceptionally approve advancement to the next year to a student who has obtained a minimum of 40 ECTS credits in the previous year and has passed the following courses: Physical Chemistry II, Mathematics II, Advanced Methods of Instrumental Analysis (a total of 15 credits of the required 40 credits), if the student can provide justifiable reasons. Justifiable reasons are stipulated by the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana.

Students may reenrol in the same year if they have obtained 20 credits required for that particular year.

Students may repeat a study year once during their studies or change the study programme once due to failure to fulfil the obligations under the previous study programme.

In accordance with the law and the Statutes, a student may ask for an extension of the student status for no more than one year if justifiable reasons are provided.

Counselling and advising on electives will be provided by thesis supervisors and tutors.

Transitions do not include changes in the study programme or field due to failure to meet the obligations of the previous study programme or field. Transitions between study programmes do not include enrolment in the first year of a new study programme.

The second-cycle master’s programme in Chemistry is open to students of other comparable second-cycle master’s programmes and graduates of other university study programmes adopted prior to 11 June 2004. This means that students, who received their education in other comparable study programmes, can enrol in the programme.
Transition of students of other second-cycle master’s programmes and graduates of other university study programmes adopted prior to 11 June 2004 to the second year of the second-cycle master’s programme in Chemistry is possible if a minimum of 50% of obligations can be recognised from the candidate’s previous study programme.
The request for transition to the second-cycle programme in Chemistry should be made by written application with evidence of fulfilled obligations in the previous study programme and evidence of fulfilled admission requirements for the second-cycle master’s programme in Chemistry. Students can join the second year provided that transition requirements for this programme have been met and after passing all the exams specific for this programme.
Transitions between study programmes are subject to the decision of the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology or a body appointed by the Senate.

Student performance in individual courses is assessed by knowledge and skills testing for each individual course. The forms of knowledge assessment are determined in the course syllabi of individual courses. Assessment and grading procedures are regulated by the Rules on Study and Examinations of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana, which have been adopted by the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana.
Students are assessed against the grading scale in accordance with the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana.

The grading scale for final exams and other types of knowledge assessment:

  • 10 = exceptional knowledge with negligible faults
  • 9 = outstanding knowledge but showing some faults
  • 8 = solid knowledge
  • 7 = good knowledge but showing some major faults
  • 6 = knowledge meeting minimum criteria
  • 5 = knowledge not meeting minimum criteria

The grades from the grading scale are translated into ECTS grades as follows:

  • 10 = A
  • 9 = B
  • 8 = C
  • 7 = D
  • 6 = E
  • 5 = F (fail)

In order to advance to the next year of studies, students have to pass all study obligations for the particular year. Furthermore, they have to obtain at least 60 credits from the previous year.

The FKKT body defined in the school’s regulations may exceptionally approve advancement to the second year to a student who has obtained a minimum of 50 ECTS credits in the first year and has successfully passed the following courses: Research Work, Catalysis and Heterogeneous Reaction Systems, and Chemical Engineering Dynamics, if the student can provide justified reasons. Justified reasons are stipulated by the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana.

Students may reenrol in the same year if they have obtained 20 credits required for that particular year.

Students may repeat a study year once during their studies or change the study programme once due to failure to fulfil the obligations under the previous study programme.

In accordance with the law and the Statutes, a student may ask for an extension of the student status for no more than one year if justified reasons are provided.

Supervisors and tutors are responsible for offering counselling and advising students on selecting their electives.

In order to complete the second-cycle studies, the student has to fulfil study obligations in all courses of the programme, fulfil obligations totalling 120 ECTS credits, and prepare and successfully defend their master’s thesis in accordance with the Rules on Master’s Thesis adopted by the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana.

 

Transitions between study programmes are deemed as the termination of studies in one study programme in which the student has enrolled and continuation of studies in a new study programme. Transitions do not include changes in the study programme or field due to failure to meet the obligations of the previous study programme or field. Transitions between study programmes do not include enrolment in the first year of a new study programme.

The second-cycle master’s programme in Chemical Engineering is open to students of other comparable second-cycle master’s programmes and graduates of other university study programmes adopted prior to 11 June 2004. This means that students, who received their education in other comparable study programmes, can enrol in the programme.

Transition of students of other second-cycle master’s programmes and graduates of other university study programmes adopted prior to 11 June 2004 to the second year of the second-cycle master’s programme in Chemical Engineering is possible if a minimum of 50% of obligations can be recognised from the candidate’s previous study programme.

The request for transition to the second-cycle programme in Chemical Engineering should be made by written application with evidence of fulfilled obligations in the previous study programme and evidence of fulfilled admission requirements for the second-cycle master’s programme in Chemical Engineering. Students can join the second year provided that transition requirements for this programme have been met and after passing all the exams specific for this programme.

Transitions between study programmes are subject to the decision of the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology or a body appointed by the Senate.

 

Student performance in individual courses is assessed by knowledge testing for each individual course. Assessment and testing are carried out in the form of oral and written exams, preliminary exams, seminar and project papers. The forms and methods of assessment and student obligations are set out by the syllabi for individual courses. Other forms of continuous assessment are determined by the syllabi and form a component of the final grade. Assessment and grading procedures are regulated by the Rules on Study and Examinations of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana, which have been adopted by the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana.
Students are assessed against the grading scale in accordance with the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana.

The grading scale for final exams and other types of knowledge assessment:

  • 10 = exceptional knowledge with negligible faults
  • 9 = outstanding knowledge but showing some faults
  • 8 = solid knowledge
  • 7 = good knowledge but showing some major faults
  • 6 = knowledge meeting minimum criteria
  • 5 = knowledge not meeting minimum criteria

The grades from the grading scale are translated into ECTS grades as follows:

  • 10 = A
  • 9 = B
  • 8 = C
  • 7 = D
  • 6 = E
  • 5 = F (fail)

  • Ability to transfer and apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problem solving, especially by searching for new sources of knowledge and applying scientific methods;
  • Ability to experiment and visually present various mental concepts;
  • Ability of independent learning in own field of expertise;
  • Ability to understand the correlations between technology and design;
  • Self-initiative and independence in decision-making and managing complex tasks;
  • Ability to communicate with colleagues and professionals in related fields, which in turn enables active participation in teamwork, including in projects related to safety;
  • Sense of professional ethical and environmental responsibility;
  • Ability to cooperate in designing new safer processes and products;
  • Ability to keep track of professional and scientific literature from own field of expertise and to transfer analytical findings into practice;
  • Ability to research and generate new knowledge in the field of technical safety.

– Knowledge of the processes, work methods, conditions and situations that ensure safety at work;
– Knowledge and effective use of methods to prevent environmental pollution, fire, injury, and health impairments;
– Knowledge of basic economics (the cost of safety), ergonomics, psychology,
– Knowledge of teaching methods and procedures for the introduction to safe work;
– Understanding of the content of technical and other regulations relating to the company and technical environmental protection, with knowledge of the procedures for implementing these regulations;

b) at least a first-cycle programme worth at least 180 credits from other professional fields or an equivalent study programme completed pursuant to previous regulations in the Republic of Slovenia or abroad if the candidate has previously passed all obligations required for further study. These obligations are stipulated by the FKKT Committee for Master’s Programmes and are worth from 10 to no more than 60 credits.

In the case of enrolment restrictions, the candidates will be chosen with regard to the average grade in the first-cycle of studies. For candidates meeting the admission requirements under Item b), the average grade in the first-cycle of studies shall be considered (75%) as well as the average grade of the fulfilled study obligations under Item b) (25%).

There are 20 enrolment slots for full-time study, 3 enrolment slots for non-EU citizens and 1 for Slovenians without Slovenian citizenship.

 

The knowledge that the student has previously acquired through various forms of education may be recognised if it corresponds to the study content of the courses taught in the second-cycle programme in Technical Safety. The recognition of previously acquired knowledge and skills is subject to the decision of the FKKT Study Committee. The student should submit a written application and provide certificates and other documents evidencing the successfully acquired knowledge and adequate content.

The Study Committee shall consider the following criteria when deciding on the recognition of knowledge acquired prior to enrolment:

  • Adequacy of admission requirements for the programme (required education necessary for admission to the programme);
  • Comparability of the scope of the programme (number of hours of prior education with regard to the scope of the course) to be recognised,
  • Adequacy of content of the programme with regard to the content of the course to be recognised.

Previously acquired knowledge can be recognised if admission requirements for the previous programme were similar to the admission requirements for the second-cycle programme in Technical Safety, if at least 75% of the scope of the course is covered by prior education, and if at least 75% of the teaching content correspond to the course to be recognised. If the Study Committee establishes that previously acquired knowledge may be recognised, this is allocated the same number of ECTS credits as for the course.

**The course is conducted within 2nd cycle study programme of Chemical Engineering

In order to advance to the next year of studies, students have to pass all study obligations for the particular year. Furthermore, they have to obtain at least 60 credits from the previous year.

The FKKT body defined in the school’s regulations may exceptionally approve advancement to the second year to a student who has obtained a minimum of 50 ECTS credits in the first year and has successfully passed the following courses: Risk Management, Process Safety, Vulnerability of Systems and Research Work, if the student can provide justified reasons. Justified reasons are stipulated by the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana.

Students may reenrol in the same year if they have obtained 20 credits required for that particular year.

Students may repeat a study year once during their studies or change the study programme once due to failure to fulfil the obligations under the previous study programme.

In order to complete the second-cycle of studies, the student has to fulfil study obligations in all courses of the programme and prepare and successfully defend their master’s thesis in accordance with the Rules on Master’s Thesis adopted by the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana.

 

Transitions between second-cycle university study programmes

The second-cycle master’s programme in Technical Safety is open to students of other comparable second-cycle master’s programmes and graduates of other university study programmes adopted prior to 11 June 2004. This means that students, who received their education in other comparable study programmes, can enrol in the programme.

Transition of students of other second-cycle master’s programmes and graduates of other university study programmes adopted prior to 11 June 2004 to the second year of the second-cycle master’s programme in Technical Safety is possible if a minimum of 50% of obligations can be recognised from the candidate’s previous study programme.

The request for transition should be made by written application with evidence of fulfilled obligations in the previous study programme and evidence of fulfilled admission requirements for the second-cycle master’s programme in Technical Safety. Students can join the second year provided that transition requirements for this programme have been met and after passing all the exams specific for this programme.

Transitions between study programmes are subject to the decision of the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology or a body appointed by the Senate.

 

Student performance in individual courses is assessed by knowledge testing for each individual course. Assessment and testing are carried out in the form of oral and written exams, preliminary exams, seminar and project papers. The forms and methods of assessment and student obligations are set out by the syllabi for individual courses. Other forms of continuous assessment are determined by the syllabi and form a component of the final grade. Assessment and grading procedures are regulated by the Rules on Study and Examinations of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana, which have been adopted by the Senate of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Ljubljana.
Students are assessed against the grading scale in accordance with the Statutes of the University of Ljubljana.

The grading scale for final exams and other types of knowledge assessment:

  • 10 = exceptional knowledge with negligible faults
  • 9 = outstanding knowledge but showing some faults
  • 8 = solid knowledge
  • 7 = good knowledge but showing some major faults
  • 6 = knowledge meeting minimum criteria
  • 5 = knowledge not meeting minimum criteria

The grades from the grading scale are translated into ECTS grades as follows:

  • 10 = A
  • 9 = B
  • 8 = C
  • 7 = D
  • 6 = E
  • 5 = F (fail)
