About Chemical Engineering, Master Degree - at University of Groningen

How can we produce sustainable materials on a large scale? Can we turn CO? into valuable products? How do we make factories safer, cleaner, and more efficient? Are you excited by the idea of combining chemistry, engineering, and innovation? Then Chemical Engineering at the University of Groningen is the programme for you.

  • Study core topics like thermodynamics, process design, and catalysis
  • Combine chemistry with engineering to tackle real-world solutions ? Design and optimize processes for producing chemicals, fuels, food, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials
  • Work on sustainable technologies in energy, health, and the environment Chemical engineers translate molecular science into industrial innovation.

In this international Bachelor's programme, you'll learn to design and optimize large-scale chemical processes to develop new materials and create cleaner, more efficient technologies.

From renewable fuels to smart polymers, you'll gain the skills to shape a sustainable future. Most of the first year is shared with the Chemistry programme, so you get a broad foundation before specializing in your second year - ideal if you're still deciding between chemistry and chemical engineering. You'll also explore how chemical engineers think beyond the lab: considering cost, safety, scalability, and environmental impact. Graduates go on to careers in industry, R&D, and sustainable technology - at companies like Philips, Shell, Nouryon, BASF, AkzoNobel, or in cutting-edge research institutions.
