Chemical Engineering

This is your engineering. 
 
Chemical Engineering occupies a unique position in the intersection between molecular sciences and industrial technology.  
Traditionally linked to refining, petrochemical, and basic chemical processes, chemical engineers are now leading advancements in health, biotechnology, advanced materials, energy, consumer products, and environmental solutions.  
If these themes appeal to you, this is your engineering.

  • “With a differentiated study plan, it provides, for most students, the first contact with industry in the final internship. The opportunity to do an internship in an industrial environment combined with the strong practical component of the degree are, without a doubt, aspects that add to the technical and scientific value taught during the degree.”

    Filipa Brandão

  • “All teachers are tireless and always ready to help. That is why ISEP so easily becomes a second home and offers all the necessary conditions for an excellent training, contributing to the development of new students and their preparation for the future. It was undoubtedly the best decision I made!”

    José Cupertino de Miranda

  • “From day one, I felt that ISEP is an extension of the business fabric, where knowledge is transmitted without ever losing sight of the objective of preparing professionals, disruptive and nonconformist, capable of adding value to society. I have excellent memories of my time at ISEP, and I still like to go back there. The campus environment is unpretentious and practical. Being from ISEP is a source of great pride for me!”
