The KIT Department of Chemical and Process Engineering has 27 professorships and is one of the most renowned institutions in its discipline worldwide. Currently, about 1,600 students are enrolled in the consecutive bachelor’s and master’s programs Chemical and Process Engineering (CIW/VT) and Bioengineering (BIW). About 35% of the students are female. Our teaching is characterised by:

• Undergraduate courses provide the foundation for an engineering mindset.
• The understanding of process engineering provided in undergraduate courses enables our students to address current issues in our five strategic research areas and to develop sustainable solutions.
• Elective and specialisation courses address societal issues and the demands of a resource-efficient and increasingly data-driven industrial society.

In cooperation with the KIT Departments of Chemistry and Biosciences, Physics, Mathematics, and Mechanical Engineering, the KIT Department of Chemical and Process Engineering offers a sound education in natural sciences and engineering. The Department is also involved in teacher training in the study program “Naturwissenschaft und Technik“ (Natural Science and Technology) as well as in the master program Water Science and Enigneering. All study programs have been successfully accredited and fully comply with the requirements of TU9 and the umbrella organizations ProcessNet and VDI. The study programs regularly receive the FTMV seal of quality. In rankings, the study programs of the KIT Department of Chemical and Process Engineering repeatedly obtain excellent positions.
