The history of chemical and process engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology dates back to the early 1970s, when the Institute of Chemical Engineering was established as a result of the merger of four chairs of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Warsaw University of Technology. A few years later, on October 27, 1973, the Institute of Chemical Engineering (since 1986 the Institute of Chemical and Process Engineering) was granted the rights of a separate department of Warsaw University of Technology, and on October 23, 1991 it was transformed into the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering. Currently, Faculty has the right to confer the degree of doctor of technical sciences in chemical engineering.

The current structure of the Department includes five research-teaching units:

• Chair of Dispersed Systems Engineering
• Department of Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering
• Department of Kinetics and Process Thermodynamics
• Department of Engineering and Dynamics of Chemical Reactors
• Department of Industrial Process Intensification

In the parametric evaluation of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education made on the basis of the evaluation of the results of scientific and research activities for 2017-2021, the department received a A category. In recent years, faculty members have been recognized with numerous prestigious national and international awards.

The Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology is the leading faculty in Poland that conducts studies in chemical and process engineering. It has a strongly established, very good position and reputation in Europe and the world. The faculty conducts full-time studies:

• first-cycle studies lasting 3.5 years (7 semesters), ending with the engineer's degree;
• second-cycle studies lasting 1.5 years (3 semesters), ending with the master's degree.

Over the years, the chemical engineering major acquired at WIChiP has been highly placed in the rankings of studies in Poland. What's more, the Faculty has also been recognized by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education with awards for the best course of study, among others.

In addition, the Faculty has an outstanding assessment of the quality of education in Chemical and Process Engineering at the first and second degree level. Diplomas obtained at the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering are recognized in Europe under accreditation by the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education.
