Chemical engineering is a discipline that bridges various areas of science and technology. Chemical engineers develop and design processes by applying mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering knowledge. Their core expertise lies in transforming raw materials into high-value-added products while respecting the environment and human health. The modern chemical engineer is often involved in the development of new materials and innovative processes, from laboratory scale to industrial scale.

The large number of companies concerned with the synthesis and processing of materials and chemicals creates a constant demand for chemical engineers. In addition to traditional examples such as chemical, energy, and petrochemical companies, job opportunities are multiplying in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and environmental engineering. The training of a chemical engineer and its versatility is strategically important whenever industrial processes involve chemical and physical transformations of matter.

Our programme of studies promotes the development of multi-scale approach capabilities to describe chemical and physical transformations of matter, ranging from microscopic aspects to the macro-scale of plants. The curriculum (bachelor's and master's degrees) focuses on acquiring a broad spectrum of education, with a solid foundation in basic mathematical, physical, chemical, and engineering disciplines, along with core specific disciplines such as thermodynamics, transport phenomena, chemical kinetics, reactor design, biochemistry, and process design. This approach ensures the broad cultural latitude of chemical engineers as an essential condition for successful professional integration in rapidly evolving occupational and technological scenarios.
