Founded in 1952 as part of the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague, Czech Republic, the Faculty of Chemical Technology consists of chemistry graduate programs and interdisciplinary committees, organized into ten departments and divisions.
About faculty
Nobel Prize winner Vladimir Prelog, versatile chemist Emil Votoček, inventor of soft contact lenses Otto Wichterle and many other prominent FCHT graduates helped enhance the fields of study taught at the university. Presently, these fields embrace development of new materials with unique properties including nano/bio particles, alternative sources of energy and substances, and new medical drugs.
Departments
The faculty consists of ten departments and one joint laboratory of UCT Prague and the Czech Academy of Sciences.
- Department of Inorganic Chemistry
- Department of Inorganic Technology
- Department of Metals and Corrosion Engineering
- Department of Glass and Ceramics
- Department of Chemistry of Solid State
- Department of Organic Chemistry
- Department of Organic Technology
- Department of Polymers
- Department of Solid State Engineering
- Laboratory of Inorganic Materials

Bachelor programs
Bachelor programs are three years in duration. Study programs at all faculties are based on core courses embracing general subjects. Graduates are awarded the title "Bachelor" (equivalent to BSc).
| Bachelor program | No. of BCs students |
|---|---|
| Applied Chemistry and Materials | 255 |
| Conservation-Restoration | 120 |
| Drug Synthesis and Production | 331 |
| Biomaterials | 45 |
