1. Mission statement
A transparent and dynamic education!
The faculty of Chemical Engineering educates young people in a student-centred style to become chemical industrial engineers. The faculty offers a consistent, polyvalent and modern training, adapted to the social needs and supported by applied scientific research in chemistry, environmental technology and biotechnology.
During the Bachelor training the student acquires a broad scientific and technological platform, whereas the master training focuses on autonomous scientific research and on an advanced comprehension in chemical technology.

The faculty of Chemical Engineering engages itself to train young people, in a student friendly environment, to an academic bachelor and master in industrial sciences: chemical engineering. The faculty offers a balanced, revised and up-to-date curriculum centred around four domains. This curriculum has been adapted to the social needs and is supported by applied scientific research in process technology, environmental technology and biotechnology.
The four domains are:
- Chemistry
- Chemical engineering
- Bio- and environmental technology
- Research, social and business skills
During the Bachelor training the student acquires a broad scientific and technological platform. Project work in each academic year ensures that the student further develops applied scientific and communicative skills, both autonomous as in teamwork, so that a scientific subject is smoothly presented.
The Master year focuses on autonomous research and an advanced comprehension. The student cooperates in the operation of our research laboratories in association with universities and enterprises.
Throughout the whole training process the student is stimulated to critical reflection. The student is constantly supervised while autonomously and creatively developing specific multidisciplinary projects and solving problems.

3. Strategic and operational objectives
- Motivated students with a substantial commitment
The students are motivated by project team work, involvement and by variation in training styles. This increases the success rate.
- Consistent education with a competence driven training.
The final qualifications are clearly and transparently presented in the training program. Attention is given to general qualifications (social skills such as teamwork and communication techniques) without neglecting the scientific, research and professional qualifications by:
- The master thesis in industry, university and college.
- Implementing projects and PGO throughout the whole training process
- The continuous training of the staff in order to apply new education methods
Throughout the whole training process the student is stimulated to critical reflection. The student is permanently supervised while autonomously and creatively developing specific multidisciplinary projects and solving problems.
- Polyvalent education
The faculty offers a broad spectrum of professional possibilities for the graduate by:
- a broad scientific and technological platform of the bachelor/master training program
- guarding the specific character of the industrial engineer in the new bachelor/master structure.
- State-of-the-art
The faculty is up-to-date by:
- recent developments in their field observed by the staff through seminars, literature and scientific research is passed on to the students
- Scientific research / Academisation
Scientific research is expanded and incorporated in the education
- Public relations
contacts with industry, university and secondary education are maintained and are extended by:
- personalised contacts with teachers and Executive Boards from the secondary education
- offering research projects for secondary schools.
- organisation of ChemMystery- disclosure in the media of activities and research.
- Quality control
The faculty performs quality control by:
- developing an instructional manual with procedures
- follow up of the policy
- by reviewing the faculty and revising it according to social needs
- by evaluation of the training process
- Internationalisation
The education has an international dimension by:
- comparing our training program with similar programmes abroad
- participation to international exchange programs
- Student-centred
In the education there is a narrow contact between the staff and the students by:
- working in small groups
- the open mind attitude of the staff
- input of the students to the organisation and policy
