Program Overview

BSc in Chemical Engineering

The BSc degree course in chemical engineering provides the appropriate skills and knowledge in chemistry, chemical engineering, and economic sciences. The degree holder should be able to manage chemical technologies, conduct analytical tests, intermediate and final quality control, and can take part in R&D, planning, and public administration. Part of the education is specialization in a branch.

Program Objectives

The program objectives are to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to manage chemical technologies, conduct analytical tests, and take part in R&D, planning, and public administration.

Language Requirements

In general, four semesters of English are required. However, students can earn an internal language certificate during the English for Chemical Engineering 1 or 2 courses by passing additional tests. Those who receive the certificate will no longer be required to take further English language courses. Students who do not obtain the certificate at the end of English for Chemical Engineering 2 will receive a recommendation from their English teacher regarding which courses they should register for. Once you have obtained the internal language certificate, submit the E024 Neptun request for the accreditation of your certificate. The English courses can be counted as electives (humanities) or free electives.

Total Credits

The total credits required for the BSc in Chemical Engineering program are 210.
