About this programme
Bachelor in Chemical and Process Engineering is a bachelor’s programme at Graz University of Technology in Graz, taught in German and English. It runs for 3 years (6 semesters) and carries 180 ECTS credits. The register gives Graz as the campus town. It lists the academic degree as Bachelor of Science, BSc. Graz University of Technology is a public university in Styria.
What you will study
Chemical and Process Engineering at TU Graz is about turning raw materials into products. You learn the steps that change wood into pulp and paper, waste water into clean water, or rapeseed into biodiesel. The programme is taught mainly in German, with some courses in English.
What you study
The first semesters give you a broad base in maths, physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. Then you move into chemical and process engineering operations: mechanical, thermal and chemical conversion steps. You learn to describe, develop and simulate these processes so they work economically and sustainably on an industrial scale.
Compulsory subjects include Fundamentals of Chemical and Process Engineering, Mathematics 1 and 2, Fundamentals of the Natural Sciences, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, Mechanics, Basic Education in Mechanical Engineering, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer, Introduction to Areas of Specialisation, Electrical Engineering and Programming, Chemical Thermodynamics, Reaction Technology and Thermal Separation Processes, Process Engineering, and Mechanical Chemical and Process Engineering. In these you work with material and energy balances, design thermal separation processes such as distillation, extraction or drying, create flow diagrams, use 3D-CAD and Matlab, and learn to plan and interpret experiments.
How the programme is organised
The bachelor's degree runs over 6 semesters and carries 180 ECTS credits. Teaching mixes lectures with laboratory work at the chemical and process engineering institutes, where you can work from laboratory scale up to pilot scale. Contact with industry is built in: excursions to companies, company lectures and conferences, industrial processes developed from real plant plans, and bachelor's projects within industrial research projects (for example the coating process used in computer chip production).
Who it suits
This programme suits you if you like science and want to see how it applies in factories and plants. You should enjoy varied tasks and be ready to work with maths, chemistry and engineering tools. The programme is broad, so you will meet many areas before you specialise later in a master's.
Admission, language and next steps
Teaching is in German, with some courses in English. Check which parts are in English before you apply. Applications go directly to TU Graz, not through a central portal. The admission period for winter semester 2026/27 is 6 July to 5 September 2026, and for summer semester 2027 it is 11 January to 5 February 2027. International students must submit documents in advance. If you need the supplementary examination in Descriptive Geometry, you can take it during the bachelor's programme. After graduating, you can apply for the Master's Degree Programme Chemical and Process Engineering or Advanced Materials Science without further requirements, or start your career.

Before you apply
There is no central application portal in Austria: you apply to the institution, here Graz University of Technology. For most bachelor’s programmes at public universities the general application period ends on 5 September for the winter semester and on 5 February for the summer semester. The dates are earlier for applicants from outside the EU/EEA and for programmes with an entrance procedure, so confirm the exact date on the programme page. Entrance examination, as the register states it: No. Entry requirements and language tests are set by the institution, so start from the official programme page. Our guides cover tuition fees, the student residence permit and housing.
Facts on this page come from the Austrian national register (BMFWF open data and studienwahl.at, which states the language of instruction). Fees are in euros as the register lists them. "Not listed" means the register has no figure, not that the programme is free. Always confirm requirements, fees and dates with the institution.
