Program Overview

Program Overview

Chemical engineering is the science of using chemical, physical, and biological processes to transform natural resources into products with new, tailored properties. The Chemical Engineering bachelor's study program is highly application-oriented, reflecting the reality of the field. Students acquire expertise at the interface of chemistry and process sciences. This knowledge enables you to develop products and contribute to their production and use.

Admission Requirements

Applicants must possess a university entrance qualification certificate to apply to the Chemical Engineering program. Generally, the Abitur serves as the university entrance qualification certificate. If you do not have a formal university entrance qualification, you may still be able to study at TU Berlin if you can provide proof of certain professional qualifications. The Chemical Engineering bachelor's program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level.

Program Structure

There is a proposed course schedule for the degree program. This is a recommendation for how to complete the degree program within the standard period of study of six semesters. It provides an example of which modules to take in which semesters. While this proposed course schedule is ideal on paper, it is not mandatory. It's simply an example of how to successfully schedule and shape your studies.

Study and Examination Regulations

The most current version of the regulations applies to applicants. Previous versions of the study and examination regulations are available for reference.

Content and Modules

The bachelor's degree program in Chemical Engineering consists of various modules. A module combines curriculum content relating to a certain topic. A module includes various study and teaching formats such as lectures, practical tutorials, seminars, and practical projects. Students are required to earn a specific number of credit points and complete certain coursework and assessments in each module.

Internships

Students are required to complete a non-university industry internship lasting at least 12 weeks, with the pre-internship making up 6-8 weeks. We strongly recommend completing the pre-internship before beginning your studies.

Stays Abroad

The study program structure provides an opportunity for students to complete a stay abroad within the standard period of study. The Faculty has staff to assist you with selecting a university and putting together a schedule.

Acquired Skills

As a graduate of the Chemical Engineering bachelor's program, you have combined expertise from chemistry and process engineering and understand the phenomena that occur in chemical reactions and process engineering applications. You have a firm grasp of advanced natural science content and possess basic methodological skills from mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

After Your Studies

Completion of this program opens the door to different possibilities: a master's program in which you can further your knowledge of the subject and specialize or direct employment. Graduates find work in a variety of fields, such as plant construction, analytics, product development, or quality control or marketing in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
