1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Reasons for starting the study programme
By the graduate study of chemical technology, the Faculty of Chemical Technology of Split, as a high-education and scientific institution, is trying to offer a new impetus for economic development and rational economizing on natural resources. This study provides knowledge required for designing, leading and developing of sustainable chemical processes, as well as the knowledge on the methods of quality investigations and their development at the process of analysis. The graduate study is organized through three study orintations: Materials, Environmental Protection and Chemistry and Technology of Mediterranean Cultures. The basic knowledge from the field of chemical engineering is applied in the manufacture and analysis of materials, in the investigations of various degradation processes and in the protection of construction materials in different surroundings. Sustainable development is closely connected with industry and environment. When they finish this study, the students can be quickly involved in work to solve many problems and promote the interrelation between technological development and environment, with an emphasis on water resources and coastal sea, and on soil and atmosphere protection.
1.2. Relationship with the local community (economy, entrepreneurship, civil society, etc.)
The proposed study programs are based on the scientific knowledge of chemistry, chemical engineering and food technology, which significantly contributes to modern education of new experts. The possible partners outside high-school education system interested in continuation of the study of chemical technology are the economy and public services of the Split-Dalmatia County, as well as: cement industry, shipbuilding industry, processing of polymer materials, Institute for Oceanography and Fishing, Croatian Hydrographical Institute, Institute for Adriatic Cultures and Melioration of Karsts, Institute for Civil Engineering, Public Health Institute and other County and City public services. It is important to point out that due to the geographic position of Split there is a growing presence of students not only from Dalmatia but also from Bosnia and Herzegovina, so that such a trend is expected to continue in the future.
1.3. Compatibility with requirements of professional organizations
One of the basic assumptions for quality implementation of the proposed program is educational, professional and research cooperation of all relevant factors that may contribute to the process of the training and education of students. The teachers who teach at the graduate study of chemical technology are members of various professional associations and commitie (Croatian Society of Chemical Engineers, Association of Chemical Engineers Split, Croatian Chemical Society Parent Committee for Technical Sciences, Chemical Engineering field, Croatian Academy of Engineering , Croatian standard Institute, etc.).
1.4. Name possible partners outside the higher education system that expressed interest in the study programme
The possible partners outside high-school education system interested in continuation of the study of chemical technology are the economy and public services of the Split-Dalmatia County and beyond. Some of the specialized sites and laboratories with whom Faculty cooperates (usually for the purpose of student’s practical and field work and the preparation of graduate theses of students) are: companies from Dalmatia (eg. AD Plastik, Brodosplit, CEMEX, Cian), the entire Croatia (pharmaceutical industry, oil industry, food industry, cosmetics industry, paints and varnishes, the company dealing with the protection of the environment, etc.) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (eg. Aluminij Mostar). Faculty partners are also institutes as follows: Institute Ruđer Bošković, Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation, Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries.
1.5. Financing
The planned source of financing for the graduate study of chemical technology is the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports.
1.6. Comparability of the study programme with other accredited programmes in higher education institutions in the Republic of Croatia and EU countries
When elaborating the programs, special care was taken to harmonize the subjects and their teaching programs with related studies at other high-school institutions. In that way the programmes are mutually comparable and, also, they stimulate the student and teacher mobility. The proposed program can be compared with the programmes of the following high-school institutions: - Politecnico di Torino, Italy (www.polito.it ) - University of Maribor, Slovenia (http://www.fkkt.uni-lj.si), - University of Pardubice, Czech Republic (http://www.upce.cz/en/fcht/uechi.html), - Politechnika Warszawska, Poland (http://www.ichip.pw.edu.pl/) - Universit? degli Studi di Roma ”La Sapienza” ( http://www.chem.uniroma1.it/didattica/offerta-formativa/cdl-chimica-industriale), Rome, Italy; - Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, Spain.
1.7. Openness of the study programme to student mobility (horizontal, vertical in the Republic of Croatia, and international)
It can be realized through the enrolment of particular subjects in other university studies, as well as of the whole semesters in the related studies, or through the work on the final project. The students will be also given an opportunity to enroll in a certain number of courses out of their profession. The studies suitable for the realization of that mobility are the components of the University of Split, but also of other Croatian universities and high-school institutions of the EU countries. The study programme is organized in one-semester courses, which is one of the important prerequisites of student mobility. The proposed programme of graduate study of chemical technology and its comparability with the related studies in the Republic of Croatia and the EU countries enables the student and teacher mobility. The mobility can be realized through the enrolment of particular subjects in other university studies, as well as of the whole semesters in the related studies, or through the work on the final project. Institutions with which it will be possible to achieve the mobility are constituents of the University of Split, other Croatian universities (Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology in Zagreb, Faculty of Food Technology in Zagreb, Faculty of Food Technology in Osijek, Faculty of Textile Technology in Zagreb, Faculty of Graphic Arts in Zagreb, etc.), and certain institutions from the European Union. The Faculty has signed the agreement for Erasmus mobility of teachers and students with the Universite Techniche Dresden, Dresden, Germany, Universita degli Studi di Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy, Universita di Trieste, Trieste, Italy, AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Polonia, Polytecnich institutes of Braganca, Braganca, Portugal, University of Maribor, Maribor, Slovenia, Polymer technology college, Maribor, Slovenia and others. The Faculty also participates in multilateral cooperation with the possibilities of mobility of students and teachers across the Central European Exchange Program for University Studies (CEEPUS). Through this program, the cooperation with the following foreign institutions is achived: 1) Faculty of Material Science and Ceramics, AGH University of Science and Technology, Kraków, Poland, 2) Institute für Analytische Chemie, Karl-Franzens-Universität, Graz, Austria, 3) Department of Analytical Chemistry, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava, Slovak Republic, 4) Institute of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice, Czech Republic, 5) Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, University of Maribor, Slovenia.
