Bakalářský studijní program Chemie na Přírodovědecké fakultě Jihočeské univerzity je koncipován tak, aby poskytl absolventům základní přehled ze všech klasických chemických disciplín - anorganické chemie, organické chemie, fyzikální chemie, analytické chemie a biochemie. Tyto předměty jsou vyučovány ve dvousemestrálních kurzech, kromě přednášek obsahují i teoretická cvičení a praktická laboratorní cvičení. Vedle těchto základních předmětů absolvují studenti i další nezbytné předměty jako je obecná chemie, chemické výpočty a názvosloví, chemická informatika, metody chemického výzkumu, matematika, fyzika.

Absolvent tohoto bakalářského studia by měl být dostatečně teoreticky i prakticky vzdělán ve všech chemických disciplínách, jeho bezprostřední kontakt s dalšími přírodovědnými disciplínami pěstovanými na PřF JU by měl jeho osobnost ještě dále rozvíjet.

V rámci volitelných předmětů se student může zaměřit na předměty chemické nebo volit předměty v biologických, fyzikálních, matematických či informatických oborech a získat tak širší mezioborové vzdělání. Absolvent je vzdělán jako odborný bakalář chemik.

The joint Bachelor's degree program in Biological Chemistry is organized and supported by the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at the JKU Linz and the Faculty of Sciences at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czech Republic.

The program focuses on competency skills and knowledge transfer in biological sciences, and also international experience and training as a chemist to pursue professional, scientific, and application-oriented careers. The program incorporates essential areas of chemistry crucial for overall knowledge in the field and also addresses an analysis of biological systems as well as areas of biology in which chemical procedures are crucial.
General education covers base knowledge in areas of inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry. Compared to studies in “Technical Chemistry”, this program provides concentrated, in-depth instruction in areas of biological chemistry and biology.

The Bachelor Curriculum of Biological Chemistry consists of Biochemistry, Mathematics, and Physics, Biology, Analytical Chemistry, General and Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Informatics, Communications and Ethics, Physical Chemistry, Elective subjects, Molecular Biology.

The program is conducted entirely in English - B2 level is required for admission. Non-natively English-speaking participants must attend the courses titled “English for Chemists". Participants with proof of proficient knowledge of English need not take these courses (recognition process required). For them, we recommend alternative language courses, e.g., in Czech. The curriculum has been designed so that students spend ca. 50 % of the program studying at each university.

Applicants must prove at least three years of chemistry and three years of mathematics during their secondary school studies; otherwise, an entrance test from basics of chemistry and mathematics will be required.

A fee for studying at FSc USB in a foreign language is 500 CZK (or 20 EURO), as stated in the Provision of the Dean No. 83. Za studium v cizím jazyce se na PřF JU platí poplatek 500 Kč (anebo 20 EURO) za rok, viz Opatření děkanky D83.

Potential Career Opportunities
The academic degree qualifies graduates to pursue careers as project and research assistants or laboratory managers in the field of Life Sciences. The international nature of the program, combined with English as the main language of instruction, particularly qualifies graduates for professions in multinational environments (such as EU institutions and internationally active business and corporations).
