Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering (CBE) deals with the ingenious transformation of matter and energy into products and services with the aim of maximising the benefit for all. More specifically, it addresses the design, operation and management of facilities needed to achieve this transformation in a technically, economically and environmentally appropriate manner.

 

Examples of products include petrochemicals, (bio)pharmaceuticals, vaccines and nanomaterials. Examples of services include energy supply (from carbon-based to renewable resources), clean air and CO2 -sequestration.

 

As a Chemical & Bioprocess Engineer, you will use the sciences as the basis for understanding these transformations, you will apply mathematical and engineering principles to realise them on the appropriate scale. If you seek invention and want to work at the interface between the sciences, mathematics and engineering, with a broad and well-paid portfolio of career opportunities, strongly consider CBE.
