Bioengineers are the pioneers of interdisciplinary research driving a sustainable, post-fossil economy. They use their knowledge to create sustainable energy and materials solutions and products for the future.
Chemical engineers are the creative minds behind innovative solutions that will help us move towards a carbon-neutral society. They ensure that material cycles are closed and that technical approaches can be put into practice.
The courses offered by the KIT Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering are constantly being developed and adapted to current research content, especially in the area of specialisation. While our study programmes generally enable graduates to think and act in a future-oriented manner, to understand the effects of their own actions on the world and to make responsible, sustainable decisions, we have listed below some examples of courses that deal specifically with sustainability issues.

Process engineering: Qualification for a sustainable future
With our research-based teaching, we qualify engineers for a sustainable society. Our undergraduate teaching forms the basis for scientific engineering thinking and action. Elective and specialization courses are geared towards the requirements of a resource-efficient and data-based industrial society.
Mechanical process engineering: Clean air - the basis of life
Investigating gas-borne particle systems and their material and functional properties is crucial for environmental protection, as it leads to applications in areas such as gas purification, energy technology and vehicle technology.
