Chemical Science and Engineering

In this bachelor’s programme, the focus is on the technological application of chemistry. You will become an expert in engineering, designing and developing new (sustainable) processes and materials, using chemistry as your starting point.

What is the most efficient way of storing electrical energy? What kind of filter would it take to filter out as much clean hydrogen from a mixture of gases? What composition would you expect from a material that is superconducting at a relatively high temperature, and how could you make it? If this variety of questions intrigues you, the three-year, English-taught bachelor’s programme Chemical Science & Engineering at the University of Twente is the right choice for you.

Chemical engineers can be occupied with a very broad range of challenges and solutions. From developing the smallest chemical structures in a lab – small enough to fit on a chip – to maintaining, improving or designing giant-sized reactors and installations.

This study will prepare you for this broad and fascinating field. Throughout the programme, chemistry is not your end goal, but the starting point for deepening, broadening and sustainably applying chemical technology.
During this three-year bachelor's programme, you will follow twelve modules: four modules per year. Each module covers a theme and brings together all the main aspects of your studies: theory and practice, research and solution design, self-study and teamwork.
