The field for work within chemistry and technology is very wide. The subject and competence play important roles in several of our big societal challenges, for example the transition to green energy and industry. The job market for educated engineers within chemistry and technology looks good, both now and in the future.
Undergraduate education
Chalmers undergraduate programmes are conducted in Swedish only. Read more about the programmes on the page "Hitta program".
Master's programmes
Biotechnology, MSc
Innovative and Sustainable Chemical Engineering, MSc
Materials Chemistry, MSc
Doctoral studies
One of Chalmers' most important tasks is to carry on research on a very high international level and to inform society about this research.
At the Department of of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering there are four graduate schools which cover all the research activities: the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering graduate schools and the graduate schools which are common to the whole of Chalmers Bioscience and Material Science.
Bioscience
Do you want to develop methods for a better strategy for our health and environment? Then you should apply for a doctoral degree in Biosciences after your Master's degree.
Chemistry
Do you want to research a substance that deals with the structure and reactions of molecules? As a doctoral student in chemistry, you get the opportunity to develop knowledge that is central to understanding the composition, structure, and properties of substances.
Chemical Engineering
Do you want to do research concerning renewable fuels, energy efficiency, product and process optimization, sustainable processes/system, virtual process design, reduction of waste/pollution, and much more?
Materials Science
Do you have an interest in an interdisciplinary subject area that describes the relationships between a solid material's composition, structure, properties and performance, and how these relationships may be controlled through different parameters in the fabrication process? Then you may apply to a doctoral student position within the graduate school in of Materials Science when you have received your master's degree.
Bachelor and Master's thesis projects
Bachelor projects
The bachelor's thesis is the first really big piece of work you do as a student during your education. In addition to applying your knowledge in mathematics, science and technology, you will get to work in project form and present the results both orally and in writing.
The bachelor's projects offered at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering as well as at the Department of Life Sciences, are presented in the learning platform Canvas:
BTX11 & KBTX16 Bachelor thesis selection 2023
Master thesis projects
Available Master's thesis projects at the Department for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
