Applied Science - Chemistry & Chemical Technology

Are you naturally curious about the chemistry behind materials and technologies we use every day? In that case Chemistry of Materials and Chemical Engineering is the perfect educational journey for you!

What do artificial heart valves, renewable energy, sandwich bags and medicine have in common? Chemical engineers have played a crucial role in the creation of all these innovations! For example, as a chemical technologist you develop smart materials for soft robotics, you investigate cleaner energy sources and create off-grid reactors to produce affordable chemicals like fertilizers. This is why there is always an high demand for well-educated people in the field of Chemistry of Materials and Chemical Engineering.

Our comprehensive programme covers three core themes: materials synthesis and characterization, chemical process engineering and sustainable chemistry. You'll gain knowledge and practical skills that help you excel as a professional in the dynamic fields of chemistry and chemical engineering. Working with passionate teachers and fellow students, you'll tackle real-world challenges directly from the industry. Through practical projects you contribute directly to improving sustainability, circularity and energy transition within the industry.
