Chemical Engineering

Is this programme for you?

You are fascinated by the development of new products. You are interested in following the production process from A to Z. And you like teamwork. If you like the idea of applying chemistry in industrial and commercial settings, then Chemical Engineering is the perfect degree for you.

How can you produce plastics on a large scale? Can you generate electricity with the human body? How can you ensure that factories are clean, safe and efficient? These are the kinds of questions chemical engineers work to answer. As a chemical engineer, you will deal with chemical processes on a large scale. You will learn to develop new chemical products and to design improved catalysts for the targeted reactions.

Why study Chemical Engineering with the University of Groningen?

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering are the home of 2016 Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry, Ben Feringa.

Our research is among the finest in the world. The university's Materials Research Institute ranks in the top 10 worldwide.

The University of Groningen is the only university in the Netherlands where you can study both Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. If you find it hard to choose between the two, you can still switch degree after your first year.

How to apply

The minimum entry requirements for this programme are three A-levels to include Maths and Physics plus an AS-level in Chemistry. Alternatively, you must have three A-levels to include Maths and Chemistry.
