Studying the Bachelor's programme in Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at AAU Esbjerg, you will take part in the development of processes and products needed to make our further existence on Earth sustainable. New technological discoveries are needed within water treatment and environmental protection to prevent impacts of our activities.
New active and smart materials are needed to improve our quality of life using less resources. New biotechnological processes are needed to avoid the use of potentially harmful chemicals in production, and new insights are needed to develop new energy carriers (fuels) based on renewable sources and produced through sustainable production.
As an engineer within chemistry and biotechnology you will get the skills and competences to develop and design processes that solve societal challenges. You will through our problem based teaching approach learn to analyse a problem and figure out exactly what’s needed of a good solution.
You will in a creative academic environment learn to use your knowledge and be challenged on your ideas by professional researchers. Through experiments in state of the art labs you will test your developed concepts and see for yourself if it works. You will be involved in industrial collaboration, working on problems from companies and experience that you already as a student make a difference.
