Old-timers still remember that the Faculty of Chemical Technologies was once called the faculty of brides and wanted the graduates first get married, and then the approach professional realization. The current "chemists" are educated and ambitious. New areas of training, the application of new knowledge and opportunities for academic exchanges and internships are very promising today. So the fair sex has many chances to realize their creative potential.
