Graduates of the study program acquire detailed knowledge and experience with the use and interpretation of the results of a wide range of physicochemical techniques or theoretical and computational approaches designed to study molecules, molecular sets, (nano) materials and surfaces. During their studies, students are encouraged to plan research activities, are able to orientate themselves in modern information technologies and scientific literature and independently prepare scientific grant projects. Emphasis is placed on the understanding of physicochemical properties of studied systems for their targeted influence within applications. Students will acquire principles, methods of processing and interpretation of results of a wide range of very advanced techniques for characterization of studied systems according to their specialization from computational and simulation methods, through spectroscopic and microscopic methods, to separation and chemical methods. For students, the emphasis is on participation in seminars, conferences and internships abroad, so as to improve as much as possible in expressing and presenting soft skills in English. Graduates of the doctoral program are able to communicate, write and present results in English and establish professional cooperation with foreign partners. The study program enables students to acquire and improve their teaching skills by engaging in the undergraduate and undergraduate study programs implemented at the Department of Physical Chemistry, including the undergraduate or graduate theses. The study is based on individual study plans prepared individually for each student. The main focus of students' activities lies in their scientific work within the framework of the dissertation work under the guidance of experienced trainers and consultants, where they are engaged in research in selected areas of physical chemistry and related disciplines. Specifically, they deal in their scientific work with topics related to catalysis, electrochemistry and electrocatalysis, optical properties of (nano) materials and (nano) composites, energy storage (supercapacitors and batteries), surface and rheological properties of materials, structure and function of biomacromolecules, etc. Study Program Graduate Profile The graduate of the doctoral study program is a chemist with extended and detailed theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of physical chemistry and applied physical chemistry and is able to develop these disciplines independently. This fact guarantees him a position in state-owned and private institutions operating in the chemical industry sector as an independent professional or for the career of a university teacher. The graduate has all prerequisites to become a leading or organizational worker of basic or applied research teams.


Relevant professions: Researcher, a senior researcher at universities, institutes of the Academy of Sciences, research institutes and control laboratories with chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, hygiene, clinical, veterinary, environmental, geological, ecological, engineering, construction or other industrial focus. It is not a regulated profession. Rules and Conditions for Elaboration of Study Plans Rules and conditions for creating study plans are in accordance with internal standard R-B-17/07 Standards for Institutional Accreditation and Standards for Study Programs at Palacký University Olomouc. Each student in the doctoral program studies on the basis of an individual study plan, which is drawn up and updated annually by the supervisor together with the student. The individual study plan of the doctoral study determines the time and content sequence of study activities (especially the selection and date of completion of individual compulsory and compulsory elective courses), the form of study of these study activities and the way of verifying the results of the doctoral student. The individual study plan also specifies the general research theme of the student in accordance with the topic of his / her dissertation, and possible study and practice at other workplaces, including foreign ones. The individual study plan of the doctoral study and its possible modifications are approved by the chair of the Subject Committee and its fulfilment is checked and discussed annually at regular meetings of the Subject Committee. The individual study plan may appoint a dissertation consultant who, together with the supervisor, will participate in the scientific education of the student and who will provide the student with specific professional knowledge and skills crucial for the successful implementation of his / her planned research activities. Doctoral studies are carried out in the ECTS credit system and the set course structure motivates students to participate in wider scientific and pedagogical activities that contribute to their scientific education. The block of compulsory activities includes the preparation of the materials for the Doctoral Thesis, an abroad Research stay, an English exam for PhD students, a presentation in the Specialized Seminar and at a Foreign Conference. Furthermore, each student is required to pass an examination in Physical Chemistry with a specialization of their choice. Depending on the specialization of the dissertation, students choose at least 2 courses from the list of compulsory elective courses. Another block of compulsory optional subjects are general educational subjects (Fundamentals of publishing and grant activities, Specialized subject teaching and Leadership of bachelor and master theses) and subjects focused on student publishing activities. The block of elective courses contains subjects that cover activities aimed at gaining teaching experience, project activities, popularization of science, internship with a potential employer, etc. Conditions for Admission to Study Students are selected on the basis of the admission procedure before a minimum 3-member committee appointed by the Dean. The potential supervisor is usually a board member. A prerequisite is the completion of a scientific or technological master study program in a field close to chemistry. The admission procedure takes the form of a motivational interview in English, where the committee determines the student's interest in the field and the level of previous professional knowledge, including English. The Dean decides on admission based on the recommendation of the committee. Links to Other Types of Study Programs The study is directly linked to the follow-up master's programs in the field of chemistry education, especially the master's program Physical Chemistry. Nevertheless, it is possible to continue in the PhD program in the Physical Chemistry program after completing other Master's degree programs of a close focus and the program can thus follow a wide range of Master's programs, especially in the fields of chemistry, physics or informatics.

Lecturer prof. RNDr. Jiří Šponer, DrSc., Brief Course Annotation The lecture is focused on explanation of basic aspects concerning RNA and DNA molecules. The lecture does not require special preliminary knowledge and is highly interdisciplinary in order to show the connection of modern science from physical chemistry through biochemistry, structural biology to the basic principles of evolution. Key biomolecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins perform even the finest biological functions, primarily on the basis of their unique three-dimensional (3D) structures. Finding the relationship between primary genetic information and the 3D structure of encoded biomolecules is an essential step in understanding all biochemical processes. The interplay of molecular interactions will be analyzed and their role in different classes of nucleic acids will be identified. The main classes of RNA and DNA molecules will be discussed, with an emphasis on the basic principles of their formation, the relationship between the primary sequence, 3D structure and function, and local and global confirmatory variability. Finally, the discussed topics will be demonstrated in detail on the analysis of the structure and function of ribosomes, as well as other catalytic RNA molecules, and unusual DNA structures such as guanine quadruplexes. The lecture can be continuously adapted according to the students' interest 1. The role of nucleic acids in biology and evolution. 2. Basic physico-chemical terms.

Graduates acquire detailed knowledge and experience with the use and interpretation of the results of a wide range of physico-chemical techniques or theoretical and computational approaches. During their studies, students are encouraged to plan research activities, are able to orientate themselves in modern information technologies and scientific literature and independently prepare scientific grant projects. In addition, students will learn the principles, methods of processing and interpretation of the results of a number of very advanced experimental and theoretical techniques. Students are emphasized to participate in seminars, conferences and internships abroad, so as to improve their ability to express and present their skills in English and learn to critically assess the state of knowledge in their field. Graduates of the doctoral program are able to communicate, write and present the results in English and establish professional cooperation with foreign partners from academic and industrial practice. The supervising department has a developed network of cooperating departments at home and abroad (e.g. EMBL-EBI, Cornell University, Drexel University, Munich Technical University, University of Hong Kong, University of Limoges, etc.) and solves joint research tasks in cooperation with partners from academic and industrial practice. Thanks to the above-mentioned facts, graduates have a comprehensive orientation in the field and are able to develop it independently, search for current topics and industry trends. This knowledge and skills provide graduates with considerable flexibility and advantage in the labor market. In further development, we will follow industry trends and expand international cooperation so that students have the background of an internationally respected scientific workplace that will prepare them well for practice. Number of Applicants Admitted to the Study Program The expected number of applicants is 5-10, depending on the capacity of the workplaces.

Assumed Employability of Graduates The graduate of the doctoral program is a chemist with extended and detailed theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of physical chemistry and applied physical chemistry and is able to develop these disciplines independently. The graduate was acquainted with the key applications of physical and computational chemistry in the environment, biomedicine, energy storage or heterogeneous catalysis and photocatalysis processes. They can work with modern information technologies and critically process information from world professional databases. Can manage professional communication in English in written and oral form. This guarantees him a position in state and private institutions operating in the chemical industry sector as an independent professional or for a career as a university teacher. The graduate has all prerequisites to become a leading or organizational worker of research teams of basic or applied research. Relevant professions: Researcher, senior researcher at universities, institutes of the Academy of Sciences, research institutes and control laboratories with chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, hygiene, clinical, veterinary, environmental, geological, ecological, engineering, construction or other industrial focus. It is not a regulated profession.


E – Self-Evaluation Report Form for the Study Program Approval Application 1. Strengths of the Study Program The strength of the doctoral study program Physical Chemistry is that it emphasizes the preparation of graduates capable of creative research activities, who can independently formulate and solve very complex theoretical or experimental problems, they can organize scientific work independently, they are able to communicate about professional issues in English and acquired knowledge and skills successfully used in solving problems in practice. During their doctoral studies, students are systematically involved in research projects and international scientific cooperation and undergo an internship abroad that will enable them to gain valuable experience and establish and deepen contacts with foreign colleagues. Thanks to high-quality modern infrastructure both at the Department of Physical Chemistry and at the Regional Center of Advanced Technologies and Materials, students have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art instruments and conduct highly complex experiments at a level fully comparable with leading European and world laboratories. The study program is based on the long-term tradition of cutting-edge research in the fields of physical chemistry both at the Department of Physical Chemistry of the Faculty of Science and the Regional Center of Advanced Technologies and Materials, which participates in the implementation of doctoral studies. Both workplaces also have a strong personnel background of a number of leading experts who ensure quality individual leadership of students. Students attend foreign summer schools and conferences as well as seminars and workshops of foreign experts. Students are systematically encouraged to interpret the results of a wide range of physico-chemical techniques or theoretical and computational approaches. Students will learn principles, methods of processing and interpretation of results of many advanced techniques of physico-chemical research of biomolecules and nanomaterials including simulation techniques, high-resolution electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, scanning vacuum tunnel microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy etc. During their studies, students are encouraged to plan research activities, establish cooperation, independently prepare scientific grant projects and communicate the results of scientific work in written and oral form in English. Students are able to orientate themselves in modern information technologies and scientific literature. The profile of the graduate of the doctoral study program Physical Chemistry is thus fully in accordance with the graduate's general profile, as specified in Government Regulation No. 275/2016 Coll. Another strength is the emphasis on individual research and creative activities of individual students within the framework of their dissertation work. Students also gain experience from teaching activities, engage in project activities, present scientific results and popularize science and study abroad. The content of this study conceived successfully ensures the achievement of the objectives of the study and the defined profile of the graduate. The content of vocational subjects is continuously innovated so that students are acquainted with the latest knowledge in the field of study. In terms of content, all courses fully correspond to the thematic focus of the study program. 2. Weaknesses of the Study Program In view of the above, it can be stated that the doctoral study program Physical Chemistry is not characterized by any significant weaknesses and in all respects meets the standards of the doctoral study program according to the relevant legal standards, requirements of the National Accreditation Office and internal regulations of Palacký University in Olomouc. A possible weakness is the relatively low interest in PhD studies in the field of natural and technical sciences, which is closely related to the issue of unclear long-term policy and the concept of supporting PhD studies in the Czech Republic. Nevertheless, with regard to the concept of study, wide application potential, multidisciplinarity of research activities, top personnel and material provision, we believe that we will succeed in attracting motivated students and consequently bringing up quality graduates from the labor market. Another related weakness is that this field places great demands on students to meet the goals and standards of study. In order to reduce the possibility of a higher percentage of students failing, students are made aware of all their demands and requirements in a timely manner, undergo a competitive admission procedure, and trainers solve study problems in time and individually support their students. At the same time, the study is regularly reviewed. The study also represents a great time investment for students. It may also pose an economic risk to some students. In order to eliminate the weaknesses associated with this threat, both the faculty and the guaranteeing workplace offer various forms of scholarships and project employment, helping students to secure sufficient income so that they do not have existential problems that could jeopardize their learning outcomes.


3. Study Program Staffing Arrangements Guarantor of the doctoral study program Physical Chemistry is Assoc. Prof. Karel Berka (born 1982), who is a full-time academic at Palacký University with an open-ended contract of 1.0 from 2010. Since that time, he has been actively involved in teaching and research and specializing in computational chemistry. He was habilitated in 2016 at UP Olomouc. His pedagogical and scientific activities are listed in the corresponding CI-sheet. In accordance with Section 44 (6) of the Higher Education Act, he has sufficient professional qualifications and knowledge of teaching in the Physical Chemistry program due to his long-term presence at the guarantor's workplace. Teaching in the study program is provided by 21 qualified academic staff employed as guarantors at the university, including 5 professors, 11 associate professors and 3 assistant professors with a Ph.D. These employees are involved in the implementation of the study program as supervisors, committee members and guarantors of key professional study subjects. Other staff members of the department and the Regional Center of Advanced Technologies and Materials, lecturers and academic researchers will be involved in the study program, who will participate in the scientific education of PhD students as consultants or trainers on specific topics and participate in teaching specialized subjects in this doctoral study program. At present, a number of academic staff with a Ph.D. or CSc. with the fact that many of them are planning career growth and thus ensuring long-term personnel guarantees. In addition, all of the above-mentioned staff fully cover a wide range of topics and disciplines where PhD students in Physical Chemistry can profile. 4. Prospects for the Study Program Staffing Arrangements Academic staff and external teachers in a wide range of age and professional age (21 guarantors, average age 48 years) participate in the realization of teaching. In addition to professors and associate professors who are responsible for the quality of teaching, a number of young academics work as lecturers, assistants and lecturers. All of them are also involved in the system of leading and consulting doctoral theses. The involvement of young academics in the direct teaching of this study program guarantees continuity of staffing in the future. For the period up to 2025, approximately 3 professorship and 2 habilitation procedures are planned at the guarantor's workplace. Over the next few years, the staffing of the study program will be further strengthened, if possible, also by the involvement of new staff coming from abroad or from other academic and scientific institutions in the Czech Republic. Young prospective research and academic staff will be continuously involved in the implementation of doctoral studies in the positions of consultants or trainers for selected topics and will also participate in teaching individual vocational subjects. 5. Prospects for Education and Creative Activities within the Study Program The outlook for educational and creative activities in the PhD study program Physical Chemistry lies mainly in innovation and modification of the content of study, including individual subjects, based on the results of student evaluation and evaluation of graduates' professional competencies based on their experience gained through direct contact within the graduate program. Within the framework of innovations, it is expected that the specialization will be modified based on the creation of new compulsory optional subjects in connection with the professional growth of the department staff and its development. In particular, young academics will be motivated to create these new or innovated subjects in the context of their professional development, which is important for the future staffing of the program. Similarly, other practitioners will be approached to create new subjects to complement the portfolio of subjects with those that provide graduates with a broader insight into the interdisciplinary use of physical chemistry. Within the framework of creative activities related to dissertations, topics will be selected in accordance with the scientific focus of the guarantor's workplace, which is reflected in publishing activities as well as current research projects. Emphasis will be placed on the quality and utility value of the results, both in terms of publication and application (intellectual or industrial property, technology optimization, etc.). The development of teaching and research activities of doctoral students will thus depend on the maximum use of available scientific infrastructure, with an emphasis on interdisciplinarity and intensive involvement of students in scientific projects and international scientific cooperation. These steps will lead to maintaining and ensuring the high quality and competitiveness of this doctoral program in the Czech Republic and in the international context and will ensure a high employability of graduates on the domestic and international labor market. The quality of the educational activities within the program will be under the responsibility of the guarantor of the field with the support of the head of the supervising department and Scientific-Pedagogy Council of Chemistry.
