The degree program in Chemical and Process Engineering (CIW) combines engineering and natural sciences. By choosing specific laboratory practicals, you can focus more on chemistry or on apparatus engineering. While the first semesters cover in-depth fundamentals in mathematics, chemistry, physics, materials science, technical mechanics, construction theory, and thermodynamics, the fifth and sixth semester focus on process engineering. Also, the first elective and specialization options begin in the fifth and sixth semester of the bachelor's degree program. The bachelor's thesis at the end of the program provides an opportunity to further explore one's interests scientifically. After graduating with a bachelor's degree, most students continue their studies in a master's program. The master's program also includes an internship.
Today, however, the job profile of graduates includes more than the classic career in the chemical industry. Energy and environmental technology are becoming increasingly important. The KIT department is making an important contribution to the energy transition using renewable energies with education in this field.
