Chemical engineering is a discipline that connects various areas of science and technology. Chemical engineers develop and design processes for the production of goods by applying mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering knowledge. Their main expertise lies in transforming raw materials into high-value-added products while respecting the environment and health, and ensuring financial sustainability. Chemical engineers are involved in the development/design/operation of transformation processes, from laboratory to industrial scale.

The large number of companies involved in the preparation and transformation of chemicals, materials, and foods generates a constant demand for chemical engineers. In addition to traditional examples such as chemical, energy, and petrochemical companies, job opportunities are increasingly multiplying with the exploitation of renewable resources related to the current energy transition (green hydrogen, biofuels, biomass, synthetic fuels), in agri-food production, and in the synthesis of innovative materials, both for the biotechnology world and for pharmaceuticals, electronics, astronautics, and environmental engineering. The training of a chemical engineer and its versatility are fundamental whenever industrial processes involve chemical, physical, and biological transformations of matter.

Our programme of studies promotes the development of multi-scale approach capabilities for describing mass transformations, from microscopic aspects to the macro-scale of plants.

The Bachelor's Degree is articulated into three curricula (renewable resources; agri-food; materials), but always guaranteeing the "core curriculum" of the chemical engineer. In fact, in addition to a common and solid foundation in mathematical, physical, and chemical disciplines, each curriculum includes the core specific disciplines of Chemical Engineering (thermodynamics, transport phenomena, reaction kinetics, and process design/development), as well as an analysis of circular economy and ecological sustainability for best choosing mong alternative production processes. The last year is predominantly dedicated to the most specific activities of the chosen curriculum, aimed at the development of knowledge and skills functional to carrying out professional activities in their respective areas.

This approach ensures that future chemical engineers acquire a wide range of cultural knowledge as an essential requirement for full integration into the professional and technological context, characterized by rapid and continuous development.
