The Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology (renamed so in 1991)

was founded in 1919, as the first Department of Chemical Engineering in Croatia. In 82-year history it has been modified and updated with new chairs and groups paying tribute to the technical and scientific progress in chemical engineering. Nowadays, the main objective of the Faculty is to provide high quality education at all levels. The programme for undergraduate and graduate students offers a modern curriculum taught by professors with extensive experience. A flexible programme of study encourages each student to pass through various pathways of curricular network and gather both generally convertible skills in chemical engineering and special details in various domains of chemical engineering. The undergraduate programme lead to a Bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering (BSc). The curriculum provides basic studies in physics and mathematics; a major concentration in chemistry; education in management, economics and computer science; strong core in chemical engineering as well as courses in electrical and mechanical engineering. Specific course selection on special fields of chemical engineering science based on the knowledge of natural science allows students to meet individual areas of interest. The following choice of modules is available:

- Environmental Engineering, - Refinery and Petrochemical Engineering, - Polymers, - Silicates, - Leather, - Organic Processes and Products and - Inorganic and Electrochemical Processes and Products.

The final semester of the undergraduate programme is dedicated to the diploma thesis

project. The aim is to motivate students for complex use of their engineering knowledge earned during the education and to gain experience in research work.

Along with the academic training composed of compulsory and elective courses, the students are required to participate for one month in practical internships in industry.

The graduate will be qualified to work as research fellow, senior engineer, process designer, manager etc., mainly in chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries but his or her qualifications will reach far beyond this scope.
