Research training programme
IPC has the right to confer doctoral degrees in chemical sciences in the discipline of chemistry. The PhD programme is designed to support preparation of PhD thesis and leads to the award of a doctoral degree.
The PhD fellows will be provided with hands-on training on advanced theoretical and experimental methods, specific to their particular research fields. The research training programme will support implementation of individual Career Development Plan (CDP). CDP will be prepared by a student in cooperation with his/her supervisorat at the beginning of the programme, and will be regularly updated. CDP will take into account personal interests, and long-term goals, possibly merging experience in science & business.
The framework of educational programme is presented below:

- Quantum chemistry and spectroscopy
- Thermodynamics
- Kinetics of chemical reactions
- Structure of matter
- Electrochemistry
