The Faculty of Ecological Safety was formed on the bases of some departments of the Faculty of Airports during its reorganization in 2002. Soon it became one of the leading faculties of the Institute and the university providing training for more than 800 students. The faculty laboratories are equipped with hi-fi technologies providing great possibilities for scientific research.
Students study three fields. The first of them is Chemical technology and engineering (majors: Chemical technology of fuels and carbon materials; Chemical technology of polymers). Oil and its products are very important as the main resources for energetic safety of any society, both today and in the future. Chemistry is the basic science; it has close ties with many different branches of industry. The producing of every material good is not possible without knowing chemical processes. Discovering new methods for producing polymers and on their base the creating of new polymer materials and compositional polymer materials together with precise working out their technology is one of the goals of modern chemical engineering. So, graduating in this field, students become real specialists in all this urgent problems and solve them with great and significant results.
The second field is Biotechnology (majors: ecological biotechnology; biotechnology of biologically active substances). Modern biotechnology helps a lot in providing the humanity with food, medicines, and the means for fighting the harmful consequences of transformation of environment.
The third one is Ecology (major: ecology and environment protection). Active human activity has become a reason for transformation of environment. Today the changes in nature have gained the status of those threatening the future existence of the man kind and are assisted by many ecological crises. The experts of this field have enough knowledge to solve these problems.
