What do artificial heart valves, renewable energy, plastic sandwich bags, and medicines have in common? Chemical engineers were at the cradle of these phenomena. As a chemical engineer, you design responsive materials for soft robotics, find cleaner sources of energy, and develop off-grid mini-plants to produce cheap chemicals (*e.g.* fertilizer). Therefore, highly educated engineers in the fields of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry are always in high demand.

### What's in the program?

Chemical Engineering and Chemistry are about societal issues but also about small, useful applications in daily life. As a chemical engineer, you sometimes work at the nanoscale - designing new molecules and developing smart materials. However, you can also work at the macroscale - optimizing and scaling up production processes. The applications are limitless: treating illnesses, preventing scarcity of natural resources such as water and oil, or inventing intelligent textile fibers and smart packaging materials.

## Who are you?

Of course you think chemistry is interesting. In high school you have in addition to chemistry, mathematics and physics as a final subject. You are curious and inquisitive. You like doing projects with concrete results and want to contribute to products and materials that make a difference in society. You enjoy working in teams and with people from other disciplines. You want to develop your communication skills, because you are going to need them later in your career. Is this you? Then you’ll fit right in in the Bachelor's program of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. Note that you have to complete the mandatory study choice check to be admitted to this bachelor's program. For more information, please consult the [Study Choice Check](https://www.tue.nl/en/education/bachelor-college/study-choice-check).

## What do you want to be?

With a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, you have a broad foundation as a chemical engineer. Most of our students pursue a master's program before starting their careers. The potential work field of a chemical engineer ranges from the government to food producers and from research labs to the chemical industry. Check out the possibilities after[graduation](https://www.tue.nl/en/education/bachelor-college/bachelor-chemical-engineering-and-chemistry/after-graduation).

They are happy to answer your questions and share their experiences!

## Multidisciplinary education

The Bachelor's program in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry is a study program where you learn from various disciplines, so you develop skills necessary for every engineer. The research is broad and has a great reach into other specializations. This is also reflected in the study program, which contains themes relevant to society, such as sustainable energy and health. The disciplines you will be studying include:

- **Chemistry**\
   Much like the chemistry you had in high school, you learn about how molecules are composed and how to synthesize them.
- **Materials science**\
   You learn how substances behave and how to assign specific characteristics to molecules, for instance, to make a breathable raincoat.
- **Process engineering**\
   How do you arrange that processes developed on a small scale in the lab, such as creating a self-healing coating for smartphones, can be executed continuously and on a large scale?

Our multidisciplinary way of working, which allows for a lot of freedom to design your own study program, gives you the necessary comprehensive insight into developing new substances and materials and the ability to analyze and fine-tune processes.

You learn about the cohesion between various disciplines during design projects. You will also learn which specialism fits you best and where you want to develop your knowledge. Moreover, you learn how to bring various specialisms together. For instance, by working in teams on multidisciplinary design assignments.

After graduating, you obtain your Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. Do you want to know more? Check out the [Course structure](https://www.tue.nl/en/education/bachelor-college/bachelor-chemical-engineering-and-chemistry/degree-structure) for more information.

## Chemistry at the TU/e: internationally renowned with the convivial touch of Brabant

Our study program is one of the biggest in the Netherlands when it comes to chemical engineering. The lecturers and professors put a lot of their time into doing research. They implement new results from the research immediately in the lectures. This way, you are always up to date with the latest developments in your field. As a student, you also make use of the advanced research facilities within our department. The study program is both nationally and globally renowned since our department conducts a lot of application-oriented research, often in close collaboration with the chemical industry. In fact, the Chemical Engineering part of our study program has the IChemE label, this label is a testimony to the high standard of education. Among our professors, there are [4 NWO Spinoza prize winners](https://www.tue.nl/en/news/news-overview/18-06-2020-prestigious-spinoza-prize-for-polymer-chemist-jan-van-hest), the highest Dutch scientific distinction. As a student, this is to your benefit!

Our department has a tight-knit yet open culture. Both senior students and lecturers are there to help you and answer your questions. Either informally, or in [coaching facilities](https://www.tue.nl/en/education/bachelor-college/program-structure/student-and-study-coaching) offered by the TU/e. We also stand out for our innovative educational methods, such as [CBL (Challenge-Based Learning)](https://www.tue.nl/en/education/why-study-at-tue/challenge-based-learning) and the [ITEC program](https://www.tue.nl/en/education/bachelor-college/bachelor-chemical-engineering-and-chemistry/degree-structure), where you learn how technology can make a societal impact. The atmosphere is not only challenging and inspiring but also: warm, welcoming, and friendly. At TU/e, you are seen, supported, and encouraged to reach your full potential.

## Why choose for the university of technology?

One of the key features of a technical university is its focus on the practical application of chemical processes in industry. While general universities tend to concentrate more on theoretical research, chemical engineers at TU/e combine this knowledge with the skills needed to translate chemical reactions into industrially applicable processes. This makes you more versatile and opens up more career opportunities. If you discover that your passion lies more with pure chemistry during your bachelor's program, TU/e offers excellent options to specialize in that direction. Additionally, you benefit from a broad foundation, including knowledge of process and materials science.
