Chemical Engineering (B.Sc.)

Chemical engineering is the science of using chemical, physical, and biological processes to transform natural resources into products with new, tailored properties. Examples of this are plastics, paints, and cosmetics. The Chemical Engineering bachelors 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. To achieve this, you learn not only fundamentals of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, but also specialized knowledge in the fields of energy, momentum, and materials transport and process engineering. Additionally, you learn how equipment works, is constructed, and used to process natural resources and how to construct these devices.

As a graduate of the Chemical Engineering bachelors 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. You know the basic principles of chemical and process engineering for modeling and simulating chemical reactions; of energy, materials, and momentum transport processes; as well as of separation processes at a micro, meso, and macro-scale. You are able to systematically break down, analyze, and master complex processes and substance systems. You have also learned how molecular structures influence material properties. By working on the redevelopment and further development of technical processes, you contribute to the manufacture of market-viable products with defined administration forms and applications.

Like every other bachelors degree program at TU Berlin, 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 bachelors 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. This is a prerequisite for admission. As some courses/modules are also offered in English, a knowledge of English is useful. However, it is not a condition for admission to studies.
