The Faculty of Chemistry and Technology was founded in 1960. when
the need arose for chemical and technological engineers. The then
conditions of development of chemical industry indicated southern

On July 7 1960, the Parliament of NR Croatia passed the Law on
founding of the Faculty which was published in the "Narodne

Throughout its lifetime, the Faculty has kept courses for
undergraduate (two- and four-year post-secondary school
qualification) and graduate students ("Chemical engineering",
"Chemistry and technology of macromolecules", and "Engineering
chemistry" with orientations: "Polymeric engineering", "Chemical
