Chemical Engineering and Chemistry

Chemical engineers and chemists are at the heart of the world's greatest challenges: clean energy, recyclable materials, sustainable industry, and molecules for advanced healthcare.

From the academic year 2027/2028, this study offers two tracks with the same learning outcomes: Chemical Engineering and Chemistry (English-taught, with selection) or Scheikundige Technologie (taught in Dutch and English, no selection).

You will develop new substances, materials, and processes. Think of smart molecules that deliver medicines to targeted locations in the body, innovative materials for sustainable energy storage, and large-scale production processes for a circular industry.

This is a multidisciplinary program that allows you to tailor your learning with electives, giving you scientific depth, an engineering mindset, and hands‑on experience. You will apply knowledge from disciplines such as chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering. Through our Challenge-Based Learning, you will use your knowledge and skills to translate innovations from the lab into real-world applications. The study culminates in a big project in which you select a topic that aligns with your interests.

After this, you will have a solid foundation in chemical engineering, materials science, and molecular engineering, preparing you for a career in an international and innovative sector.
