Chemical Science & Engineering
Develop novel chemical processes, materials and molecules and contribute to innovations that benefit our society in areas such as health, water, food, energy and sustainability.
The chemical industry has played a fundamental role in our society and will continue to do so. However, the industry currently finds itself at a turning point. Society demands a more sustainable economy, including the circular use of raw materials. Moreover, advances in materials are rapidly unfolding, paving the way for promising breakthroughs in all kinds of fields, from medicine to energy and food to transportation. These developments require a new approach to many chemical processes and the use of different materials. The Master’s in Chemical Science & Engineering (CSE) at the University of Twente (UT) will prepare you for this exciting and advancing role of chemical scientists and engineers.
