The Faculty of Environmental Technology (FET) is dedicated to addressing the challenges of environmental protection. In 2019, it earned second place in the Chemistry category of the national faculty ranking project "Faculty of the year" based on public evaluation.

At FET, students engage with both natural and technical sciences, equipping them with the knowledge and adaptability needed for success in scientific research as well as industrial practice. The shared foundation across all bachelor’s programs delivers a broad understanding of chemistry and technology, complemented by specialized courses tailored to each student’s focus. In master’s programs, students dive deeper into their chosen fields, following their specific interests and career goals. The curriculum emphasizes not only theoretical knowledge but also practical experience, gained either in our modern laboratories or through industry placements.

Students may also pursue two English-taught master’s programs Sustainability and Environmental Engineering or participate in international study through the IMETE and IMATEC master’s programs.

Career Prospects

Our graduates find employment across diverse sectors from the chemical and petrochemical industries to a wide range of roles in environmental protection. They are active in analytical laboratories, regulatory agencies, government institutions, and research organizations. Many also contribute as project engineers, consultants, technologists, specialists, or environmental managers. Notable alumni include Milan Smrž, author and co-author of numerous scientific publications and patents and Vice-President of the European association EUROSOLAR, which advocates for replacing fossil and nuclear energy with renewable sources, and Miroslav Kos, co-developer of several wastewater treatment solutions across the Czech Republic, including the New Prague Water Line completed in 2019.

Research Integration

Education at FET is closely linked to research conducted across all departments. Students are encouraged to take part in grant-funded projects, many of which are implemented in industry, at ministries, in applied research, or in collaboration with international institutions.
