History of the Faculty

The Faculty of Chemical and Biopharmaceutical Technologies is one of the oldest at the University. In the tumultuous 1930s of the last century, when the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute of Leather Industry was founded, it included the Chemical and Technological Faculty. The Faculty started training specialists for the leather, shoe and fur industries. For 90 years, the Department of Leather and Fur Technology was the leading department in training specialists for this field, and today, it remains the only department in higher education institutions in Ukraine. Throughout the entire historical period, the Faculty provides fundamental training in chemical disciplines for students of all specialities. The uniqueness of educational programs specialising in chemical technology and engineering lies in training highly qualified specialists in polymer materials, chemical fibres, electrochemistry, and leather and fur technologies.

At the current stage of the Faculty's development, new areas of specialist training in ecology, industrial pharmacy and biotechnology are being successfully developed. Training at the Faculty is carried out according to modern educational programs based on innovative approaches, technologies and teaching methods.

The Faculty is an active centre of scientific and research activities; it constantly develops its personnel potential and acts as the initiator of creating platforms for scientific discussions and developing innovative projects.

The Faculty's activities cover organisational, educational, methodical, scientific and educational work.

Since 2017,  the Faculty has been included in the American magazine "CEOWORLD Magazine" ranking, which shows it is a leader in business and technology. The ranking of the 100 best medical and pharmaceutical schools in the world shows the constantly growing success of KNUTD, starting from 71st place in 2017 and reaching 61st place in 2022.

The Faculty of Chemical and Biopharmaceutical Technologies was admitted to the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) in 2021. Since this year, it has been a full member, contributing to activating pharmaceutical education and industrial pharmacy activities.

Students of the Faculty

Today, more than 1100 students study at the Faculty, including over 600 students from the People's Republic of China. 

All faculty specialities are accredited at the IV educational qualification level. The Faculty actively carries out postgraduate and doctoral studies.

Students acquire practical skills in leading scientific institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and modern enterprises of the light, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.

The Faculty trains international students from four countries. The Faculty pays considerable attention to scientific work with students. Almost all students are involved in research clubs, which allows them to conduct research in laboratories equipped with modern equipment.

Students take an active part in the scientific work of the departments, as evidenced by a large number of reports at scientific conferences of young scientists and students of the University, participation in the competition of research student papers of the University, where students of the Faculty take prizes. The Faculty students participate in international and national conferences, symposia, and student competitions every year.

An integral part of the training of future specialists is their aesthetic education, the formation of creative principles based on universal values, and national and patriotic education. The Student Self-Government Council is actively working.

The best students of the Faculty - excellent students and activists of student life - can receive personalised scholarships of: the President of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, and the Mayor of Kyiv.

Student self-government of the Faculty of Chemical and Biopharmaceutical Technologies

The Faculty of Chemical and Biopharmaceutical Technologies student self-government organisation was created and operated on shared interests and tasks that students traditionally face: to acquire thorough knowledge and professional skills to become a highly qualified specialist with a harmoniously developed and socially active personality.

The student self-government started its work in 2007 as an independent student organisation. It is a powerful organisation headed by a chairman elected by representatives of the Faculty's groups and courses. The purpose of the student self-government is to help first-year students adapt to the educational process and life at the University in general, to teach them how to use the University's library collection, and to make the life of first-year students more accessible, more interesting, active and eventful. Student tutors help first-year students in their studies and involve them in various valuable events, programmes, and trainings that enable them to express themselves and develop their abilities to become active and proactive. Members of the Faculty's self-government are actively involved in preparing the Techno-Design newspaper and are engaged in charitable activities.  Over the past few years, students of the Faculty have visited orphanages in Tymki and Stara Basan villages in Chernihiv Oblast, Berezan in Kyiv Oblast, and Cherkasy. The creative group of the charity event "At the Call of the Heart" travelled to Velyka Dymerka and performed a New Year's performance for refugee children from eastern Ukraine in two boarding houses. On St. Nicholas Day, they performed a New Year's performance for children undergoing treatment at the Pavlov Clinic. They are actively involved in volunteering.

Students of the Faculty are happy to participate in the work of the University's amateur clubs, various student creativity competitions, charity events, events dedicated to public holidays and memorable dates, and organise annual Faculty Days.
