B.Sc. Biological and Chemical Engineering
Information on the degree program
The fields of bioengineering and chemical engineering are characterized among engineering disciplines by their particularly close connection to the natural sciences. Chemistry takes the forefront, but important foundations also come from biology and physics. At its core, the focus is on applying natural scientific principles in industrial practice using engineering methods. This places bio-process engineering and chemical processes at the center, which are utilized for the conversion of substances. During the course of the study, students not only learn the scientific fundamentals of these processes but also the typical engineering fundamentals for the practical design of processes and their associated facilities.
In addition to lectures and exercises in the fields of mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biology, the Bachelor's program covers the fundamentals of engineering sciences such as thermodynamics and process engineering. Laboratories in the field of process engineering provide practical university content. Starting from the fifth semester, the study can be further specialized through elective modules in the areas of chemistry, process engineering, and mechanical engineering. The research work and the Bachelor's thesis are designed to impart the foundational principles of scientific work.
