It expresses the belief that graduates of study programs harmonized according to the Slovak Accreditation Agency for Higher Education rules will be as successful in practice as before. All study programs respect the current requirements not only of the current industrial practice of the chemical, biochemical and food industries, but also provide the latest research findings and prepare graduates for the prospects of development of individual industries. The employers emphasize the high-quality, in the conditions of the Slovak Republic, exceptional training in the field of laboratory skills. Equally important on the part of employers is the ability of graduates to be able to face various technical problems, find suitable solutions, the ability to work not only independently but also as a team. The teaching of students in the field of soft skills, the acquisition of which is part of several compulsory, semi-optional and elective courses, is also welcome.This is not the case of regulated professions
