Faculty of Chemistry is one of the faculties of Lodz University of Technology educating in the field of chemical science and technology. It has existed since the beginning of Lodz University of Technology, i.e. since June 1945.
History[edit]
Three professors of the Faculty of Chemistry are mentioned as founders: Osman Achmatowicz, Alicja Dorabialska and Tadeusz Wojno. They took part in the faculty organizational session on the 26th of June 1945 during which professor Wojno was appointed the dean and professor Achmatowicz an associate dean. In the first academic year 1945/46 the following departments were created:
- Department of Mathematics and Division of General Mathematics – the first organizer and supervisor was Edward Otto.
- Department of Physics – founded by Władysław Kapuściński
- Department of Inorganic Chemistry – supervised by Edward Józefowicz
- Department of Physical Chemistry – supervised by Alicja Dorabialska
- Department of Chemical Theory of Machines – supervised by Czesław Mikulski
- Department of General Chemistry – founded by Bogumił Wilkoszewski
- Department of Organic Chemistry – organized by Osman Achmatowicz
- Department of Fiber Technologies and Dying – created by Edmund Trepka
- Department of India Rubber and Plastics Technologies – supervised by Stanisław Kiełbasiński
In the following years seven more departments and one institute were founded. These included:
- Department of Inorganic Technology (1946), which was incorporated into a newly created Institute of General Chemistry in 1970
- Department of Organic Technology (1948)
- Department of Chemical Technology of Organic Dyes (1949)
- Department of Cellulose and Paper Technology (1952)
- Department of Tanning Technology (1958)
- Department of Radiation Chemistry (1962), which was transformed into the Institute of Applied Radiation Chemistry in 1966
- Department of Organic Synthesis (1965)

The scientific and teaching staff consists of over 130 academics, including 44 professors and associate professors. By 2013 approximately 6000 students graduated from the faculty with the degree of Bachelor or Master of Science. There are about 1200 students at the faculty which has the right to grant post-doctoral degrees.[1]

Field of study[edit]
The faculty offers the following full-time studies:
- Chemistry – 3,5-year first cycle studies, 1,5-year second cycle studies and 4-year third cycle studies
- Chemical Technology – first, second and third cycle studies
- Environmental Protection – first cycle studies
- Materials Engineering – first cycle studies
- Nanotechnology – first and second cycle studies
- Construction Chemistry (since 2011 in cooperation with AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow and Gdansk University of Technology)
- Chemistry and Special Purpose Material Engineering (since March 2015, interdisciplinary, the field shared with the second degree studies of the Faculty of Chemistry of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and the Department of New Technologies and Chemistry at Military University of Technology in Warsaw)
Scientific circles[edit]
There are two student scientific circles at the Faculty: the Circle of Chemists “TNT” and Scientific Circle “Nano”. The Faculty also runs laboratory chemistry classes for teenagers from post-primary schools as part of Extracurricular Circle of Young Chemists.
