Faculty of Materials and Chemical Engineering
BSc Programmes
Materials Engineering (BSc)
The bachelor’s program corresponds to the former Materials Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering programs of the previous education system. Graduates become specialists in the structure and properties of materials such as metals, ceramics, and polymers. They develop, design, and manufacture new, advanced-structure materials – for example, high-purity metals, high-strength alloys, glasses, and binders – and explore their potential applications.
To achieve this, students must acquire a solid understanding of the interrelationships between the composition, structure, and properties of different materials.

Chemical Engineering (BSc)
Thanks to the broad cooperation of the chemical industry and in response to high-level corporate needs, in September 2019 we launched our BSc program in Chemical Engineering in Miskolc, at the heart of Hungary’s chemical industry. Within the framework of the program, the Faculty introduced Hungary’s first pilot personalized education model: each pair of students is supported by a young mentor-instructor assigned to assist their studies.
After completing the BSc in Chemical Engineering, you may continue your studies in the MSc in Chemical Engineering or the MSc in Materials Engineering, with a specialization in Chemical Technology!
The launch of the program in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, the stronghold of Hungary’s chemical industry, was made possible by the exemplary cooperation of successful companies – Wanhua-BorsodChem, MOL Petrochemicals Co., and the Kiss Group – as these companies clearly recognize that ensuring a steady supply of qualified professionals is essential for maintaining and improving competitiveness.
Chemical engineers play a vital role in every industry, since in today’s world nothing is possible without chemical substances: in the automotive industry for painting and corrosion protection; in the production of synthetic food; in the further processing of petroleum derivatives; and in combating the greenhouse effect – all fall within their field of expertise.
The Chemical Engineering program is offered in both dual and traditional formats.
Chemical engineers are professionals engaged in the operation, development, and application of industrial technologies that use chemical and petrochemical processes. They are involved in the laboratory and industrial production of new compounds, their analysis, characterization, and properties, as well as in identifying and solving engineering and materials science problems. Addressing global and local, cross-industry environmental challenges is also part of their everyday tasks.
Career opportunities for chemical engineers include:
Chemical production
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Automotive industry
Plastics production
Detergent manufacturing
Environmental companies
Research and development industries
