Presentation

General information about the degree

📚 General Description

The Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering at the UPV/EHU provides a solid education in the fundamental principles of engineering and chemistry. The programme covers areas such as thermodynamics, unit operations, process engineering, reactor design, process control, and mass and energy transfer. Students gain both theoretical and practical knowledge to design, operate and optimise industrial processes involving chemical and physical transformations, always with sustainability and safety in mind.

✨ Specific Information

The degree usually includes laboratory work, integrated projects and, in many cases, opportunities to complete external placements at companies in the chemical or industrial sectors. The UPV/EHU also promotes international mobility through exchange programmes such as Erasmus, allowing students to complete part of their studies at universities abroad. Its facilities include well-equipped laboratories for experimentation and practical learning.

👤 Recommended Profile

This degree is intended for students interested in science, particularly chemistry, physics and mathematics. Analytical skills, problem-solving ability, scientific curiosity, teamwork and a motivation for technological innovation are recommended.

🚀 Further Study and Career Paths

After completing the degree, graduates can continue their academic education through university master's degrees in related areas (such as Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering or Environmental Management) or enter the job market directly in industrial, energy, environmental, or research and development sectors.
