Chemical and Biochemical Engineering is among an elite group of fields of study that are strategic for the national economy. For whom are these studies the best choice? – Kamila Kwiatkowska, a student at the Faculty of Process and Environmental Engineering, has some suggestions for high school graduates today.

 

I chose Chemical and Biochemical Engineering because...

I have always been more into sciences than the humanities, and my love for biology and chemistry has been accompanied by an interest in technology. After completing the mathematics, biology and chemistry profile in high school, my choice of studies could not be any other than Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at Lodz University of Technology. This choice was additionally supported by positive opinions of my older mates about the nice atmosphere, great lecturers and positive attitude towards students, both at the Faculty itself and at the whole university.

What are chemical and biochemical engineering studies like?

Studying this field is undoubtedly hard work, but also development of your own interests. You will gain knowledge in process engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, mechanics, computer science and substance separation. The knowledge we acquire is immediately put into practice thanks to numerous laboratory classes. This is where you can expect to see and carry out interesting observations under the microscope, chemical experiments on fluid movement and heat, as well as take part in inspiring projects such as designing a heat exchanger or fermentation vats filled with fermentation wort. Everything becomes possible when classes are run in such a modern building as the LabFactor, which would make many foreign universities proud.

What I like the most about my field of study is ...

its interdisciplinarity. As a person curious about the world, I feel that during my studies I gain knowledge and practical skills in many fields: chemical engineering, bioprocess and biochemical engineering, nanotechnology, biotechnology, environmental engineering, chemical technology and related technologies. These studies give me a lot of joy and satisfaction and I feel that I am using my potential properly.

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering should be chosen by someone who…

has both a passion for biology and chemistry in addition to being an engineer. It is a place for people who like sciences, who are inquisitive and organised, as well as creative. A person who wants to upgrade the processes of the modern world and face challenges by gaining knowledge in advanced and sustainable technologies for industry, the environment and the economy.  In this field of study, you can really find fulfilment, and at the same time prepare yourself to solve production and research problems in an innovative and market-oriented way.

And after graduation?

There are really many opportunities: in the area of the chemical, food, energy, medicine, microelectronics and consumer products industries. The majority of new technologies related to pharmaceutical, biotechnological, environmental, nanotechnological, biomedical sectors as well as those producing innovative materials will need graduates for their further development – this is why it belongs to the elite group of fields of study of strategic importance to the national economy. Graduates can also focus on scientific development in research and development centres or even set up their own research teams.
