Bachelor of Science in Technology – Chemical and Process Engineering

Graduates of this programme will be able to:

• Apply principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics to industrial and process engineering challenges.
• Design, operate, and optimise processes and equipment using modern simulation tools and laboratory techniques.
• Develop sustainable solutions in energy, materials, water, and food production.
• Conduct research, problem-solving, and project-based teamwork in both academic and industrial settings.
• Integrate circular economy principles and sustainability considerations into engineering practices.
• Build practical skills in process safety, quality control, product development, and operational management.

The programme spans three years, leading to a Bachelor of Science in Technology, comprising 180 ECTS credits. The curriculum includes:

• General studies: fundamentals of chemistry, natural sciences, technology, and basic chemical and process engineering.
• Intermediate specialisation studies: chemical and process engineering in green energy production, energy storage, biomass and raw material utilisation, metals and minerals recovery, water purification, and food industry processes.
• Minor studies: optional courses in business, social sciences, or other fields.
• Language and communication studies: any language courses offered at LUT.
• Bachelor’s thesis: a research project completed during the final semester.

The programme combines lectures, calculation and simulation exercises, laboratory work, and project-based teamwork to develop both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

Graduates are prepared for entry-level and professional roles across a variety of industries, including chemical, energy, battery, food, biotechnology, paper and pulp, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and metal refining. Possible positions include:

• Process Designer in the Chemical Industry
• Forensic Engineer at the National Bureau of Investigation
• Environmental Protection Specialist
• Project Manager in the Forest Industry
• Research Director in Metallurgical Industry
• Development Engineer in the Food Industry
• Professor at International Universities

Graduates are also well-positioned for international careers due to the global demand for experts in sustainable processes, clean water, waste management, and circular economy solutions.
