This year, we are proud of the successful completion of professional student practice at the Lanaco Company. Under the mentorship of experts from Lanaco, students of the Computer Science and Mathematics have completed their summer semester practice, specially organized for students of our faculty. Over the past few days, students had the opportunity to explore the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). By solving real-world problems using AI/ML techniques, students gained valuable experience working on projects in a real-world environment, which will greatly benefit their further professional development.

We express our gratitude to Lanaco Company for providing this opportunity to our students and look forward to future collaboration.

If you have an adventurous spirit and a curiosity to better understand nature and the world around you, immersing yourself in the fascinating realm of chemistry is the perfect choice. The knowledge and skills acquired through both theory and experiments will pave the way for you, leading to an endless field of research. This journey involves discovering the composition and structure of various materials, ensuring the quality of finished products, and even creating innovative solutions.

The challenges faced by modern society, such as reducing pollution, preserving a healthy environment, and addressing the need for synthesizing new compounds, present chemists with the significant task of continual improvement and finding novel solutions. Through collaborative teamwork, we will equip you with the skills to analyze data, solve problems, develop critical thinking, and generate innovative ideas.

If your dream involves sharing your acquired knowledge with students in primary and secondary schools, you’re in the right place. We emphasize nurturing the teaching profession, recognizing the vital role of chemistry professors in education. Therefore, we will guide you in acquiring the necessary skills and teaching methods for the classroom.

Chemistry is omnipresent in your surroundings! Take a bold step into a new chapter of life!

You can pursue your chemistry studies at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, specifically in the Chemistry Study Program. Whether you aspire to become a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (learn more here) or a Graduate Teacher of Chemistry (discover more here), FNSM offers a platform for your academic and professional growth.

The kick-off meeting of the Erasmus+ project of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics named “Improvement the quality of chemistry teaching in vocational education in Bosnia and Herzegovina – ChemTeach” was held on the 21st and 22nd February 2024 in Bratislava. The coordinator of the project is the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, i.e. the Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology of this university, with which the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics has been cooperating for many years. Five secondary schools in which chemistry is an important subject in the teaching process participate in the implementation of the ChemTeach project. These are the Secondary School of Chemistry from Bratislava, the Higher Secondary School of Chemistry from the Czech city of Pardubice, and three schools from Banja Luka – Gymnasium, Medical School, and Technological School.

The goal of the project is to develop experimental methods and digital tools tailored to students, to connect scientific concepts with everyday life, and to create manuals with digital teaching material, which will contribute to the competencies of teachers. These activities will certainly contribute to the modernization of teaching at our Faculty and provide guidelines for curriculum development for future chemistry professors. Special attention will be devoted to communication with representatives of the companies and institutes to ensure relevance in terms of the needs of the economy for appropriate chemical knowledge and skills. At the kick-off meeting, the first project activities that will take place at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the end of March were announced, and our team was represented by Sanja Pržulj, Dragana Gajić, and Dejana Savić, assistants of the Department of Chemistry.
