Chemical and Process Engineering

About this programme

The Bachelor's Programme “Verfahrenstechnik” (hereafter: Chemical and Process Engineering) focuses on the controlled transformation of materials through physical, chemical, or biological processes. It is in demand wherever raw materials are converted into products - such as in energy supply, food production, or environmental technology. The bachelor's program combines content from mechanical engineering and technical chemistry, providing a broad engineering foundation. The new, forward-looking curriculum places special emphasis on practical application, sustainability, and interdisciplinary thinking. Students develop the skills to systematically analyze and improve complex processes, aiming to use resources efficiently, reduce emissions, and create innovative solutions to major challenges such as climate change and the energy transition. There is no selection procedure for the Bachelor's degree programme in Chemical and Process Engineering. Instead, before being admitted, you must engage with the contents of the programme as part of the so-called Study Preparation and Reflection Phase (Programme-PRe-Phase). Enthusiasm and interest in developing technical solutions and processes for efficient and environmentally friendly production. Willingness to develop new methods and approaches both in the laboratory through experiments and through calculations and modeling. Mathematical understanding and good spatial awareness are an advantage. Teamwork, curiosity, and creativity are among the key skills that future students of chemical and process engineering should have in order to
