Degree in Industrial Chemical Engineering

The Degree in Industrial Chemical Engineering provides an education based on the theoretical and technological foundations of this field.

All graduates in Industrial Chemistry Engineering can carry out work in the design, maintenance and operation of chemical process equipment, experiment with organic and inorganic substances, heat transmission or matter transfer, fluid flow and chemical reaction design. This degree also studies the use of raw materials, the chemistry of natural products, analyses manufacturing processes, environmental pollution and industrial safety and hygiene.

Therefore, graduates carry out their professional activity especially in industries in which chemical processes are developed, such as petroleum, paper, electricity, electronics and gas, as well as in the environmental sector and public administrations. They can also work in teaching and research.
