The Faculty of Biology and Chemistry was established in 1997 as a result of the division of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Currently, the faculty consists of two institutes: Institute of Biology and Institute of Chemistry. In 1997 the Institute of Biology (together with the Institute of Chemistry) obtained the right to confer doctorate degrees in biological sciences in the field of biology. Three years later, the Faculty of Biology and Chemistry received the right to confer doctorate degrees in chemical sciences within the field of chemistry. Three years later in 2010 - the habilitation degree in biological sciences within the discipline of biology was obtained. In 2014, the Faculty obtained the right to confer the postdoctoral degree in the field of chemical sciences within the discipline of chemistry. In 2017, the Faculty received the scientific category B. The categories were awarded by the Evaluation Committee of Scientific Units. We educate students in the following fields of study: biology, chemistry, environmental protection, and eco-business.

The Faculty employs 171 staff, including 111 academic teachers and consist of more than 700 students within the Faculty.
