The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering at Technische Universität Berlin is a six-semester program designed to train future engineers at the intersection of chemistry and process sciences. Graduates will possess expertise in both areas, understanding material properties, reaction mechanisms, analytical methods, thermodynamic behavior, and the design and control of processing equipment. The program aims to equip students with the skills to develop future products and processes with specific requirements. This program bridges the gap between laboratory-scale discoveries and industrial implementation. A core component is product design, where students learn to develop processes that ensure the production of materials with predefined chemical and physical properties while considering all constraints. The curriculum provides a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, complemented by an industrial internship to gain practical experience. Graduates are well-prepared for master's programs in chemistry or process engineering, or can directly enter the workforce in various sectors.
The curriculum is structured into modules, each assessed through oral or written exams or equivalent coursework. Successfully completing modules and the bachelor's thesis constitutes the Bachelor's examination. Learning is quantified using the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), with one ECTS credit representing approximately 30 hours of work.
Graduates of the Chemical Engineering program are in high demand across various industries. They are equipped to transition from laboratory research to industrial-scale production, ensuring the successful manufacturing and application of products. The program prepares students for both further academic study and direct entry into professional roles.
The Bachelor's program in Chemical Engineering has restricted admission (NC). The selection process is governed by the Selection Statute of TU Berlin. Admission limits from previous semesters can be found on the General Student Advisory Service website.
