Overview
The Chemical Engineering master at KU Leuven guarantees you a solid chemical engineering background while also opting for a contemporary view on product intensification, energy-efficient processing routes, product engineering and biochemical processes.
You will learn to think in a process-oriented way and prepared to grasp the complexity of physicochemical systems. Furthermore, you will learn of processes at the nano and micro scale, which are increasingly fundamental for the development of new products and technologies.
Career
After Houston in the United States, the Antwerp Harbour region is the world’s second most important chemical cluster, and therefore employment prospects are very promising.
As a chemical engineer, you will predominantly work in industrial branches involved in the production of bulk and speciality chemicals. Professional activities in the sector include design, planning and building of installations (project engineer), monitoring and optimisation of existing processes (process engineer), design/formulation and optimisation of products (product engineer).
