The Department of Physical and Analytical Chemistry trains specialists in the field of chemical, metallurgical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical industries; education, sci-ence and ecology in two educational programs «Chemistry» and «Fundamental Chemistry» and offers the possibility of multilingual education at three levels: Bachelor's, Master's and PhD studies.

The students of the Department have the opportunity to study in two directions: «Physico-chemical analysis» and «Physical and Computer Chemistry». The curricu-lum includes such topical disciplines as «Computational nanotechnology in chemis-try», «Quantum mechanics and computer chemistry», «Molecular design of chemi-cal materials», «Conformational analysis of organic compounds».

Graduates of the Department will be able to work in production laboratories of ana-lytical, environmental, customs, sanitary-epidemiological, certification services; re-search organizations (institutes, laboratories) of chemical, petrochemical, environ-mental, metallurgical, pharmaceutical profile; in educational institutions and edu-cation departments.

The scientific interests of the Department are related to the study of topical prob-lems of chemistry: EPR spectroscopy and quantum chemistry of the structure and reactivity of free radicals; physicochemical studies of chalcogenides of the copper subgroup and metals of the first transition series; quantum chemical studies of liq-uid crystal compounds.

The department has a computer chemistry laboratory equipped with a server, workstations, software for performing computer modeling of chemical compounds and reactions, performing quantum chemical calculations.
