    Professional qualification:
    This qualification entitles the holder to practise the regulated profession of Technical Industrial Engineer in Spain.

    The Degree in Chemical Engineering will teach professionals product and process design, including the conception, calculation, construction, commissioning and operation of equipment and installations where processes are performed in which matter changes its composition, state or energy content, characteristic of the chemical industry and of other related sectors such as the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food and environmental sectors. Similarly, this training will qualify you for positions in manufacturing, in design and consulting companies, assignments for technical, legal or business advice, in administration and in teaching at secondary and lower university levels, as well as the free exercise of the profession and the development of expert opinions and reports.

    The degree must involve, on the one hand, general training in basic sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology) and in basic technological materials; on the other, specific training in chemical engineering to tackle the study of systems in which substances undergo a change in composition, energy content or physical state.

  • The degree in Chemical Engineering must train professionals to learn about the design of processes and products, including the conception, calculation, construction, start-up and operation of equipment and installations where processes are carried out in which the subject undergoes changes in its composition, state or energy content, characteristic of the chemical industry and other related sectors such as the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food or environmental one. Likewise, this training will allow you to hold positions in the manufacturing industry, in design and consulting companies, to undertake technical, legal or commercial advisory tasks, work in administration and in secondary or undergraduate teaching, as well as free practice of the profession and expert opinions and reports.
    On the one hand the degree must involve general training in the basic sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology) and in the basic technology subjects; on the other hand it involves specific training in chemical engineering enabling one to deal with the study of systems where substances undergo a change in their composition, energy content or physical state.

  • Mobility

    La movilidad de los/as estudiantes está regulada a través del “Reglamento de intercambios interuniversitarios”. A través de la Oficina de Relaciones Exteriores se gestionan programas de intercambio tanto nacionales (SICUE), como europeos (ERASMUS) y extracomunitarios (intercambios con países de América Latina o países de habla inglesa):

    Internships

    La materia Aula Profesional (obligatoria de 6 créditos y de 4º curso) brindará dos posibilidades al alumno:
    1. La realización de prácticas en empresas;
    2. La asistencia a cursos, seminarios y talleres del Aula Profesional.
    La realización de los créditos de prácticas en empresas implicará que el alumno realice prácticas en una o más empresas, durante un máximo de 150 h a efectos de reconocimiento, dentro de aquellas con las que se haya llegado a un convenio.
    Los alumnos que realicen prácticas en empresas tendrán un tutor de la universidad que realizará un seguimiento al alumno y velará por la calidad del trabajo efectuado a lo largo de las prácticas.

  • El TFG lo realizará individualmente cada alumno o en grupo bajo la dirección de alguno de los profesores de la titulación y aplicará los contenidos desarrollados en la titulación haciendo hincapié en las competencias generales que es necesario adquirir en profundidad.
    Se recomienda haber seguido la estructura curricular del título, dado que en el Trabajo Fin de Grado deberán plasmar los contenidos y competencias adquiridos en las mismas

  • Graduates in Chemical Engineering from USC who want to access the Degree in Chemical Engineering should take the following compulsory subjects:
