Technology and innovation, it is safe to say, are the driving forces of the progress of humankind. However, this requires creative and well-versed engineering professionals. Professionals who understand more than just the terms “inorganic chemistry” or “organic chemistry”.
Are you interested in chemistry, innovation and technology, and are constantly thinking of original ideas? BSc in Chemical Technology and Engineering at KTU may be a perfect choice for you.
Bachelor in Chemical Technology and Engineering curriculum is designed to combine theoretical knowledge with technological skills, in-depth expertise of designing and carrying out industrial processes and laboratory practice.
Specialists in chemical engineering seek to create industrial innovations, design and manage technological systems. The growing needs of the society increase the demand for qualified chemical engineers in the job market who can analyse the chemical products, to expand knowledge and to form public opinion in the field of engineering. After completing these studies, you will be able to boast of such skills.
According to job market statistics, the employability of chemical engineers is among the highest – up to 70% of them are employed just after graduation.

A big part of the employees of AB "Achema", both amongst the managers and people working with complex equipment and technological processes, are graduates of KTU Faculty of Chemical Technology, who have required qualification and education. Company, which wants to remain competitive, needs specialists with a wide education in chemistry and engineering areas, who are able to analyse processes and apply modern technologies. Company's managers of functional departments are required to have systematic thinking, ability to formulate and solve the issues not only of their particular area, but of all branch of industry, to offer new solutions based on fundamentals of economics. "Achema" is actively involved in updating of study programmes and supports new research of chemical science, which enables renovation of present technologies. Company strongly encourages its employees to acquire higher education and continue studies in Chemical Engineering Master programme".
During studies I started cooperation with industrial companies with the help of my lecturers. Even before graduation I already had many job offers. During studies I acquired a very wide range of technical knowledge, which I can use for development of new products, as well as introduction of new technologies in production. The company is constantly looking for the employees with higher education in chemical engineering.
