I) OBJECTIVE

Studies in the Postgraduate School CHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND DETERMINATION OF MOLECULAR STRUCTURE BY INSTRUMENTAL METHODS aim to provide the students with appropriate theoretical and practical education for skillful use of instrumental methods of chemical analysis. It is intended that students after graduation will be able to use instrumental methods for chemical analysis and research in various fields of chemistry and technology. In particular they will be able to implement a research thesis for the degree of "Doctor in Chemistry". The diploma of postgraduate school is a prerequisite for the degree of "Doctor in Science".

The postgraduate programme leads to a Diploma of Profound Studies in Chemistry,

"Diploma of Advanced Postgraduate Studies in Chemistry,
Speciality: Chemical Analysis and Identification of Molecular Structure by using Instrumental Methods"

II) GENERAL INFORMATION
Postgraduate School "Chemical analysis and determination of molecular structure by instrumental methods" (PGS-CA) is managed by the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Natural Sciences at University of Tirana. The postgraduate school PGS-CA started its activity in year 1997.
Curricula of PGS-CA is based on the long experience of the staff relative to chemical education and research and especially on the postgraduate courses that are hold in Department of Chemistry. Sections and laboratories that are engaged in currricula of PGS-CA have a relatively rich experience on chemical analysis and a good chemical apparatus.
All activity of PGS-CA is in accordance with legislation and regulations for postgraduate qualification and postgraduate education in Republic of Albania and respective rules of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Tirana.

An important contribution in the development of PGS-CA is TEMPUS Project CD_JEP-15042-2000 (ALB), particularly in the development of curricula, training of staff and students, preparation and publication of teaching materials and updating of laboratories.

Board of PGS-CA is
(a) Prof. Dr. Alqi Cullaj, Director of PGS-CA
(b) Prof. Dr. Kosta Koci
(c) Prof. Dr. Pandeli Troja

III) CURRICULA AND STUDIES IN PGS-CA

The postgraduated studies last one to two years (usually one and half year or three semesters).
There are two types of courses: mandatory (for all students) and special courses, which are according the profile chosen: “inorganic analysis” or “organic analysis”.
All theoretical and practical courses need about 475 teaching hours for specialization “inorganic analysis” and 463 hours for specialization “organic analysis”.
At the end of the study period, each student should prepare a research thesis (microthesis) under the supervision of a Professor or Ass. Professor. A special juri is charged for examination of the microthesis.
The number of students following one specialization each year is limited to 5-7.
The admission of students for postgraduate studies is provided by the competition based on the personal file of the candidate.
A board of professors manages all the teaching activity of the postgraduate school according the rules of Faculty of Natural Sciences and respective legislation acts.
