Chemical Engineering - Sustainable Chemical Technologies

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

The degree program Chemical Engineering – Sustainable Chemical Technologies (CEN) focusses on the use of material resources and their conversion while considering sustainability and thereby evaluating possible effects for future generations. Chemical engineers use scientific and mathematical knowledge to arrive at economically efficient, safe and environmentally friendly processes. In particular, the incorporation of the concept of sustainability into the students' education is intended to enable the development of efficient solutions to problems along the entire life cycle of a product, e.g. through new processes in chemical production, through energy and raw material savings or through research and development work.
