Registration number: 90000068977
The Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology (FNST) has the highest research potential, external funding, developed research infrastructure and is ranked among the best at Riga Technical University (RTU). FNST carries out research projects and contract work ordered by chemical industry.
FNST provides a range of academic bachelor, master and doctoral level studies programs concerning chemical industry: “Chemistry and Chemical Technology”, “Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering”, “Industrial Pharmacy” (joint studies program with Riga Stradins University), “Material Science and Nanotechnologies”, “Materials Engineering” and "Environmental Engineering" – RTU is the only one provider of these studies programs (except program “Chemistry” in the University of Latvia) in Latvia. The total number of FNST students ranges from 570 to 600, of which about 290 are students studying in above mentioned programs.
The program “Chemistry and Chemical Technology” envisages basic theoretical education in chemistry and chemical engineering, acquisition of practical skills in teaching and research laboratories, as well as practice in specialty. Specialization in one of the following directions is provided:
• Production Technology and Environmental Aspects,
• Chemistry and Technology of Organic Substances,
• Chemistry and Technology of Biomaterials,
• Chemistry and Technology of Polymer Materials,
• Analytical Chemistry.
Simultaneously to theoretical studies during elaboration of graduation thesis and within specialty subjects a student acquires research methods and techniques, as well as can obtain practical skills at an enterprise. Education in chemical engineering enables to work in enterprises of different branches, where leading specialists in engineering sciences - who can manage chemical processes, can ensure quality, are capable to develop new methods and equipment, are able to create, design and introduce new innovative technologies - are needed. Such knowledge is necessary to work in testing, quality control and research laboratories of different products and materials. The study programme trains specialists for enterprises dealing with processing and manufacturing chemistry, biotechnology and pharmaceutical products, food, cosmetics, fuel, wood, ceramics, textile and building materials, as well as specialists for corresponding research and quality control laboratories, research institutions and industrial companies.
