Chemical Science & Engineering

Do you want to work on topics like sustainable energy and chemicals, the production of drinking water, medical innovations, and the development of supermaterials? Our society requires a new generation of chemists to design the processes and materials it needs. Chemical engineers tackle all sorts of challenges, from developing tiny chemical structures - so small they can fit on a chip - to maintaining, improving and designing reactors or installations, for example. This Bachelor’s offers an excellent academic environment and prepares you for this broad, fascinating field, with subjects ranging from (bio-)organic chemistry to the design of advanced materials and the operation of chemical processes. As a graduate, you might develop an energy-saving process that does not yet exist today. Or perhaps your research will contribute to the development of a battery that efficiently stores electrical energy and is capable of delivering peak power. As a chemist, your work will matter!

Founded in 1961, the University of Twente is the only campus university in the Netherlands, offering an American-style campus experience. Known as the "entrepreneurial university" with over 1,000 spinoff companies, it specializes in technology and engineering with a strong focus on innovation and societal impact.
