Ideas that change the world
Have you ever wondered how the cutting-edge technologies that change our daily lives come about? They all start here. Chemical engineering is not just about the theory of organic or inorganic chemistry. It’s about bringing your ideas to life, creating new materials, controlling processes and solving the most complex industrial problems. If you want to work in a field where your creativity and engineering knowledge can move humanity forward, the Chemical Technology and Engineering studies are for you.
If you are seeking comprehensive development, this programme is the ideal choice. You will gain a deep understanding of engineering processes and the intricacies of product analysis, while the knowledge acquired will enable you to develop and manufacture essential products in both inorganic and organic chemistry.
Advanced chemistry and process research and control laboratories with innovative equipment will not only give you practical skills but also teach you how to model and design processes using advanced simulation software. When you graduate, you could be designing the production of raw hydrogen or synthetic fuels right on your computer screen.
Advanced chemical product development, technology development and product quality control are three core skills essential for professionals in this field. After graduating, you will have knowledge and skills on how to manage processes and improve your products using advanced methods.
The programme offers two specialisations where you can choose relevant alternative modules to develop your knowledge in specific areas of the chemical industry. You can also spend a year studying at the University of Carthage and gain a double degree.
If you’re interested in chemistry, energy and technology, and you’re always coming up with original ideas, this is the programme for you.
Technology and innovation drive humanity forward. However, it requires creative professionals with a deep understanding of engineering processes. The knowledge gained from the Chemical Technology and Engineering programme will give you a wide range of career opportunities in this sector.
Here are some of the careers available:
Establishes and ensures production methods, material and quality standards, taking into account technical conditions. Defines control standards and procedures to ensure the conduct and efficiency of chemical production operations and the safety of workers.
Responsible for preparing manufacturing specifications and planning the layout of systems. Directs the maintenance of plant buildings and equipment and carries out new projects following engineering principles and safety regulations. Also advises on new production methods, techniques and equipment.
Establishes and ensures the methods and technical conditions for the production of e-hydrogen and its derivatives (e-ammonia, e-methanol, e-gibal, etc.), which are necessary not only for sustainable production but also for the smooth storage of electricity produced from renewable energy sources.

The programme is known as among the best in the Baltic States in this field, offering high-quality theoretical and practical training. Here, students gain in-depth knowledge of process control, chemical analysis and modern technologies used in industry. The programme is distinguished by its advanced laboratories, excellent teaching staff and ample opportunities for international exchange projects. Graduates are in high demand on the job market both in Lithuania and abroad.
My studies have given me a broadly applicable body of knowledge that has opened up career opportunities in different fields. After my undergraduate studies, I started working in the sector, where I delved deeper into traditional chemical industry technologies. Later, I decided to move into renewable energy and I am currently working on one of the most innovative areas – green hydrogen technologies.
Studying in this programme had given me useful theoretical knowledge, which I have put into practice and deepened while working in an oil refinery. I started my career as an engineer, where I built up my experience as a professional. In ten years, before I took up a management position, I moved through four engineering positions, which provided me with a solid foundation as I progressed up the career ladder.
In this programme, students have the opportunity to choose one of two main specialisations. The first is organic materials technology, which includes plastics and elastomers, oil refining, paper technology and textile chemistry and technology. The second is inorganic materials technology, which focuses on the production of mineral acids, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilisers, ceramics and glass technologies and binder technology.
The Chemical Technology and Engineering programme offers a range of support for international students, including the opportunity to participate in exchange programmes for study or work placements abroad. Students gain practical skills and knowledge in chemical engineering, interact with peers from around the world and have access to the latest research tools.
Chemical Technology and Engineering at KTU is worth studying because of its strong links with industry, high quality teaching and practical skills that provide a competitive advantage. Students can choose to specialise in organic and inorganic materials technology and have the opportunity to take part in double diploma studies with the Technical University of Cartagena.
