Chemical and Process Engineering (International Program)

OVERVIEW

Chemical and Process Engineering (ChPE) is the latest international program offered by the Department of Chemical Engineering at Chulalongkorn University. This program is managed and operated by the Department of Chemical Engineering, not the International School of Engineering. This program has been created in response to the 20-year National Strategic Plan that elevates the BCG (Bio, Circular, Green) Economy to the level of the national agenda. Nonetheless, our graduates are still capable of working in traditional chemical and petrochemical industries. Chemical and Process Engineering (ChPE) curriculum structure has been designed based on the requirement of the Council of Engineers Thailand.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

To be eligible for admission to ChPE Program, applicants must meet the following requirements.
He/she must hold a Mathayom Suksa 6 certificate of a High School or other certificate equivalency, which Chulalongkorn University recognizes as being acceptable.
He/she must achieve the prescribed minimum test scores in the following 3 categories: English, Mathematics, Science.

ChPE curriculum

Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical and Process Engineering (International Program) is a 4-year program with the total credit requirement of 144 credits. The credits can be divided into 4 groups as follows:
General Education (30 credits)
o University General Education Courses (15 credits)
(Social Science, Humanity, Interdisciplinary, Science and Mathematics)
o Introduction to Chemical Engineering (3 credits)
