Biochemical, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Engineering

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Biochemical, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Engineering (BCPE) is an interdisciplinary degree programme combining natural sciences and engineering. The program focuses on how raw materials are transformed and recycled using biological, chemical or pharmaceutical processes to create products like plastics, medicines, and dairy products. Graduates work at the interface of natural science and technology, making them sought-after generalists in engineering. The program starts with fundamental mathematical, scientific and engineering principles, and from the fourth semester onwards, students choose one of three specializations: Biochemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Pharmaceutical Engineering. The program includes a pre-study internship, interdisciplinary electives, project work, a ten-week engineering internship, and concludes with a Bachelor's thesis.
