Chemical Engineering is an innovative and interdisciplinary field of engineering that combines the fundamental sciences with engineering principles to enable the transformation of raw materials into high value-added products. The Department of Chemical Engineering at Istanbul Health and Technology University aims to train engineers who can think analytically, contribute to research and development activities, adhere to ethical values, possess a strong awareness of the environment and sustainability, and compete at both national and international levels, by integrating a strong foundation in the basic sciences with engineering knowledge and skills.
Within the programme, students are equipped with courses in the basic sciences, engineering sciences, process design and applied laboratory work, whilst also having the opportunity to specialise in their areas of interest through technical and social elective courses. Thanks to modern laboratory facilities, an industry-focused educational approach and compulsory work placements, students gain experience in applying their theoretical knowledge in practice; they graduate with the knowledge and skills required particularly in strategic sectors such as the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, polymer, energy, environmental, food and chemical industries.
Our graduates are able to pursue careers in a wide range of fields, including R&D, production, process design, quality control, quality assurance and management, whilst also having the option to continue their academic studies by pursuing postgraduate education.
