Why study Chemical Science & Engineering?
From semiconductor materials to cleanroom-compatible chemical processes, chip technology depends heavily on chemistry. If you're excited by the idea of engineering materials at the molecular level to support the next generation of microchips, chemical science and engineering is the way to go.

In the Master’s in Chemical Science & Engineering at the University of Twente, you will engage in pioneering research to develop, improve and implement chemical processes, products and materials in all kinds of sectors. The programme offers specialisations in the field of materials science, molecular and organic materials, and chemical process engineering - all highly relevant to innovations in the chiptech industry.
You'll learn from internationally recognised researchers and get hands-on experience in state-of-the-art labs. From designing advanced materials to scaling up clean chemical processes, you'll be part of a research-driven environment with direct applications in semiconductor manufacturing and beyond.
Graduates from this programme are in demand across high-tech sectors, working on the development and design of novel chemical processes and new materials or products in many sectors: chemicals, metals, electronics, chip technology, sustainable energy, engineering and the list goes on.
