Chemical and Energy Engineering

The backbone of this Chemical and Energy Engineering program fromThe Hong Kong University of Science and Technologyis made up of energy, environment and nanotechnology, three of the key areas of chemical engineering for which HKUST has built its global reputation.

Moreover, theChemical and Energy Engineeringprogram fromThe Hong Kong University of Science & Technologyenables students to hone their understanding of and expertise in product development, material sciences, energy conversion and utilization, renewable energies, power generation, carbon neutrality, and sustainable development.

The program not only offers advanced chemical and energy engineering courses for students, but also enables them to take electives from other related programs to prepare chemical and energy engineers to lead and take up senior positions.
