Chemical Science & Engineering

The world needs chemistry for smarter solutions. Think of clean drinking water, sustainable energy and chemicals, the development of advanced materials, and new medication. Our society is calling for a new generation of chemists who can design the processes and materials needed to make these possible. Chemical engineers tackle challenges on very different scales, from microscopic structures on a chip to improving and designing complete reactors or industrial installations. This small-scale Bachelor’s programme prepares you for this broad and fascinating field. You might go on to develop an energy-saving process that didn’t even exist on your first day of study. Or contribute to a battery that stores energy more efficiently and delivers higher peak power. In short, as a chemical engineer, your work truly matters.

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.
