General Objectives

The scientific-profession interest of the program manifests the will of IQS to offer quality Doctorate studies in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. This program represents continuity of quality from which IQS has been distributing since 1967. Thus until 2006, 223 doctors have been trained in all fields relating to Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Thanks to their principle incorporation into diverse sectors of industry, the doctorate graduates have significantly contributed to an increase in quality, competitiveness, and innovation capacity.

The objectives pursued for the Doctorate in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering studies are as follows:

  1. To form new doctors who, have a solid basic knowledge of their modernized and specialized fields of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Doctors which can thus contribute to consolidate more competitive and modern companies; doctors which assume the necessity of investigation and innovation naturally.
  2. To awaken the vocations of professors and university investigators within the doctorate student by training them for this purpose. Effectively, it is equally important to consider that a doctorate degree is the natural entrance point for a career as a university professor.
  3. To form investigational professionals which have the most advanced knowledge of their perspective specialties, and which are capable to naturally adapt to the ever constantly changing scientific and technological environment. Doctors who are conscious of the necessity of continuing their education throughout their lives and doctors who are conscious of the necessity learning the methodology necessary for this end.
  4. To obtain doctors trained in theses studies since they will be the trailblazers which advance science and technology. Doctors who have a profound professional ethic and who are conscious of the impact their activities represent for both nature and humanity.
  5. To maintain an elevated level of basic and applied investigation which permits the transmittance of a permanent spirit of innovation and which also permits a continuous update of methodological knowledge for all IQS teaching levels.
