UCTM has three main Faculties oriented towards different engineering area in the chemical technologies, material science and metallurgy, Faculty for Foreign Students, Open Faculty and some other sections. All subjects offered at UCTM are based on a large spectra of fundamental subjects as Mathematics, Physics, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Mechanics, Chemical Processes Engineering, Processes and Equipment in Chemical Technology, etc., that allow the further specialized education. Faculty of Organic Technologies and Engineering Chemistry Dean: Assoc. Prof. Stefka Veleva, Ph.D. tel.359-2-6254-202; Secretary: tel. 359-2-6254-237 This is the biggest Faculty and incorporate 13 Departments with the following programmes: Organic Chemical Technologies. Students are taught about production, technology, design, drawing, operation and research in conventional technologies and invention of new ones on the basis of the chemical and biological transformation of substances. The special subjects come under this general heading: Technology of Rubber Technology of Organic Synthesis Technology of Plastics Textile Chemistry and Technology Technology of Oil, Gas and Solid Fuels Cellulose, Paper and Packing Technology of Polygraphy Technology of Leather and Leather Goods Chemical Engineering. Students receive fundamental knowledge of the the transport phenomena (momentum, heat and mass transfer), scaling-up and modelisation of basic processes, flow-sheating and process control and simulation.This wide field of knowledge makes possible for the specialists in Chemical Engineering to work in different branches of chemical and metallurgical industries as well as in research institutes. Ecology and Environmental Protection. The teaching programme covers study of all environmental indicators, methods and teechnologies for gas cleaning, water treatment, soil pollution and solid waste management.

The University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy (UCTM) exists since 1953. It is a higher educational and research center of national importance and its major target is to provide the national economy with highly qualified specialists mainly for the chemical and metallurgical industries. As an educational establishment of advanced learning UCTM is according to the law a self-governing institution supervised and funded by the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science. In this respect UCTM is a unique higher educational institution in Bulgaria offering degree courses in chemical technologies, metallurgy, biotechnology, environmental engineering, process control engineering, material science. Thus the University provides the leading Bulgarian industrial branches with high qualified experts. UCTM is very active in the field of international co-operation. A number of TEMPUS and COPERNICUS projects have been initiated and successfully performed by academic staff members. The future of the University is closely related to the European dimensions of its activities, including participation in Socrates (Erasmus strand) and Leonardo programmes. During the years UCTM has created a strong cooperation with practically all important enterprises in all branches of the industry. Almost all industrial managers in the chemical and metallurgical enterprises are UCTM graduates. So far the education at UCTM has been organized following the Central European model. After five-year study the student obtains a Diploma Engineer degree which is equivalent to Master degree. After the new curricula were introduced the students will receive Bachelor degree after four-year study. One year and a half postgraduate studies are needed for Master degree. Three more years at least are necessary for a Ph.D. degree. Presently the UCTM offers degree in the field of the following study programmes: Practically UCTM is the first Bulgarian university which has reformed its educational structure implementing broad curricula for undergraduate study. It allowed the application of a number of elective lecture courses within a curriculum thus providing conditions for a flexible and adaptive educational process. Every year UCTM trains about 3000 students part of them from abroad. There are several foreign professors that come for graduate or post-graduate training. About 400 lecturers are engaged in teaching and research. About half of them are professors and associate professors. Two thirds of the academic staff have Ph.D. degree. The educational and research policy of UCTM is based on the philosophy that the future belongs to the new materials, high technologies and sustainable development. In the last few years on the basis of great efforts of the personnel of the University and in close co-operation with several universities from EU countries in the frame of TEMPUS and COPERNICUS projects almost the whole computer equipment and other facilities have been renewed. There are a lot of different computers and computer systems in the laboratories of the UCTM, including HP 712/60 workstation, microcomputers, printers and graphical devices for general and specialized use in teaching and research. Almost all computers, more than 260, are connected in University Computer Network which maintains nearly 600 addresses and has an Internet access. The computer services are free of charge if the work serves the teaching, research or administration of UCTM. The University Library with Information Center has a rich collection of specialized literature and ensure access to national and international library networks of scientific information transfer. The Library possesses over 70 000 books of specialized scientific publications in the field of chemistry, metallurgy, material science, information technologies and management. There are three book shops selling specialized publications on the University campus. The Library is an associate member of EBLIDA - the biggest Library Net in Europe. The Computer Center manages collective access system - two supermini machines VAX 11/750 and developed terminal network within the University campus. Undergraduates, graduate students and those preparing Ph.D. thesis have free access to the terminal hall - a communication center interconnected with the world computer networks BitNet and Internet. Sport Facilities for tennis, swimming, football, volleyball, basketball, fitness are available. The University has 8 outdoor and one indoor tennis court; a basketball, volleyball and badminton hall; a weight lifting gym, baseball and football grounds, a table tennis hall. The University Student Council take part in almost all important decisions taken concerning education, student life, sports and so on. The Foreign Languages Training Center organizes the education in English, German, French and Russian during the third and fourth years of studies. The Scientific Research Sector supports the academic staff to organize and maintain the scientific research. There are several different types of research projects: |
