After successfully completing his/her studies the graduate is able to:

• show a good knowledge of laboratory techniques
• work with sources of scientific information
• handle (dangerous) chemical substances
• propose and perform (advanced) instrumental analyses and surveys and to interpret their results
• show a good knowledge of advanced processes and methodologies used in the field of cultural heritage preservation
• approach comprehensively solving chemical and physical problems
• publish the results of their work in scientific literature and present them at scientific meetings

The study plan is comprised of compulsory, semi-optional and optional courses, or others. Students must choose some of the courses from the semi-optional set so that they can earn a minimum number of credits required for semi-optional courses for each semester. The remaining credits can be achieved for recommended optional courses.

Students must attend C7777 Chemical Substances Handling course every year. In the first semester attending the lecture is compulsory and students have to pass a test as well. In subsequent years the lecture is optional but the test must be sat every year. There is no credit for the C7777 course.

During the first semester students have to choose a topic of a Master's thesis offered by individual departments. Students work on their diploma theses during the whole study under the leadership of their supervisor.

2) Defending one's own diploma work (thesis).

3) Passing the oral final state examination. The examination is divided into three parts - chemistry and methods of survey, methods of conservation-restoration (stone, ceramics, glass, textile, plasma, metals...) and museology, chemistry of polymers.
