1. INTRODUCTION

a) Chemistry is one of the basic natural sciences, and as such is included in the

curriculum of: elementary schools (2 years), secondary schools (4 years), and in many

professional schools (2 to 4 years). It provides the foundations for understanding the

processes in the living and non-living world on the molecular level, which is why it is

included with significant number of contact hours in the study of other natural

sciences such as biology, geology and mineralogy. Knowledge of chemistry is needed

for manufacturing almost everything that surrounds us. It is the main natural science

that has its industry. Environmental processes are predominantly chemical in nature

and their understanding is essential for rational management and sustainable

development. This will be true in the future as well. Quality control procedures are

often based on the knowledge of chemistry when one speaks about pharmaceuticals,

foodstuffs, plastics or many other industrial products. In the production of energy,

chemical expertise is also vital as from the standpoint of production so as from the

standpoint of the environmental impact. The subject-matter of the core courses during

proposed study program, as well as those that are elective, is put together based on the

most contemporary scientific findings and provides the fundamental knowledge that

will assure the competitiveness of our students on the world market of knowledge.

Almost all the well-known universities around the Europe have the study of

Chemistry, as well as programs for chemistry teachers education (either in the form of

single- or double-subject studies in various combinations), even though the teachers’

education throughout Europe is more diverse from country to country than it is the

case of basic science studies. These programs are expensive because of the labs that

often must have costly equipment and chemicals. However, there are rare universities

that don’t have natural sciences programs including Chemistry. In our neighborhood,

the Chemistry study programs can be found at the universities in Pecs, Trieste,

Ljubljana, Graz, Innsbruck, Vienna, Budapest, Novi Sad, Tuzla, Zagreb, Beograd,

Sarajevo, Mostar etc.

b) Study of Chemistry at J.J. Strossmayer University was until now conducted at the

Faculty of Philosophy, formerly Faculty of Education, within the Biology-Chemistry

Program (from the beginning in 1978), and it was a continuation of the same program

that has been conducted at the former Academy of Education. After the Department of

Chemistry was founded (2005), and with the adaptation of adequate space for the

Department, all the conditions are met for establishing the Chemistry program.

Confirming the significance of proper chemistry education in primary and secondary

schools, and therefore the necessity of excellent education for future teachers, we can

quote the Nobel Laureate Prof. Vladimir Prelog (the excerpt from the Nobel lecture):

“I have responded, as it is commonly said, that everybody needs a little bit of talent,

but is much more important to work hard. And beside this something else is needed in

order to be successful: luck, a lot of luck. Then they asked me what that luck is

composed of. I answered that first and foremost you have to have good teachers

and then you need some more luck to get good collaborators.”

It cannot be forgotten that both Croatian Nobel Laureates, L. Ružička and V. Prelog

were chemists and they both finished part of their elementary and secondary education

in chemistry at Osijek.

4

This program of study is adapted to conform the Bologna Declaration and modernized

in terms of instruction approach so that the higher efficacy of study and compatibility

with the chemistry programs in Europe could be achieved.

c) The partners for the graduate program in Chemistry (teachers education studies –

proposed separately) are elementary and secondary schools, but the potential partners

are business enterprises (chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry), public

institutions and diverse research institutions.

d) Study program provides horizontal and vertical student mobility because it is

structured as a combination of obligatory and elective courses as it is in Europe and

fully in-line with similar programs in Croatia. The program is open for students of

related studies only with differential exams. The large number of elective courses

enables the upgrade of the basics in order to give the opportunity for diploma studies

that are not proposed within our University while they exist at the other universities in

Croatia or abroad.

e) The study program in Chemistry is being realized with significant collaboration of the

Faculty of Natural Sciences in Zagreb, Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences, Ruđer

Bošković Institute in Zagreb, Institute for Public Health in Osijek, Faculty of Food

Technology in Osijek and the Departments of Physics, Mathematics and Biology – J.J.

Strossmayer University in Osijek.

3.3. PROGRAM STRUCTURE

University Undergraduate Study Program of Chemistry is structured so that students

acquire full competency in chemistry by taking a number of mandatory and elective courses

in the core field as well as a number of general subjects throughout the first two years. After

finishing this undergraduate program, students who decide to continue their education will be

able to register in graduate program for chemistry teachers at Department of Chemistry, J.J.

Strossmayer University or in other graduate programs of chemistry in Croatia or other

countries members of Bologna Declaration. A detailed study program, given by semesters and

years follows. Total study load is 25 - 26 hours per week (lectures, seminars, labs), and total

number of ECTS credits is 30 per semester. Study concept (rhythm) is planned to be in two

semesters per year with the examination periods according to the Regulation of Studies, J.J.

Strossmayer University in Osijek. Exams will be taken individually in pre-announced terms.

Student obligations are primarily: regular and conscientious attendance of lectures and

seminars, while within the labs, they are obliged to pass the entrance exams before doing the

separate exercises and to submit the report papers after exercise is finished. These are the

conditions for entering the final exams. The requirement for students to register for higher

years of study (2nd and 3rd year) is to collect the minimum of 80% ECTS credits (80% of 60 =

48) from the preceding year. Together with fulfilling their obligations (confirmed by teachers

signature) and finishing the required practical exercises in the labs, students will have to

collect the minimum of 50% ECTS credits (50% of 60 = 30) to have the right for repeating

the year with possible registering for some of the courses from the higher year. The

prerequisites for the individual courses are given within the item 3.2. (Contents of Courses).

With finished University Undergraduate Study Program of Chemistry the candidates

will acquire the title of Baccalaureus/ea of Chemistry and they will be able to directly

continue the graduate (diploma) study of Chemistry after which they will acquire the title of

Master of Chemical Education (Professor of Chemistry). After finishing the undergraduate

study program, students will be able to register for graduate (diploma) programs in the field of

Chemistry at other Universities as well with possible differential exams.
