Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Nanyang Technological University

Overview

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Nanyang Technological University amalgamates principles of chemical engineering and life sciences (biology, biochemistry and genetics ) to facilitate the development of safe, profitable and environmentally friendly processes for the synthesis and manufacture of products from chemical/biological raw materials.

The Institution of Engineers, Singapore through its Engineering Accreditation Board has granted accreditation to our Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) programme for students graduating from the programme since 2007/2008.

With its dynamic faculty from the internationally renowned universities, modern infrastructure and state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities, the School provides students a stimulating learning environment and opportunities to identify and pursue personal and professional goals.

Career Prospects

Chemical and biomolecular engineers are in high demand in an emerging and knowledge based economy. The chemical and pharmaceutical sectors constitute a key part of Singapore’s constellation of industries. Other neighboring countries are also focusing on industries that produce high value added products. Chemical and biomolecular engineers obtain a diverse training and hence possess the flexibility and versatility to adapt to different industrial fields. Graduates can find challenging opportunities in traditional as well as emerging engineering fields such as petrochemicals, bio-pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, food/flavors/fragrances, nanotechnology, biotechnology and others.
