International Undergraduate Program
Bachelor of Chemical Engineering
The Chemical Engineering IUP curriculum equips students with strong foundations in process engineering, material and energy transformation, and sustainable industrial systems. Students learn how raw materials are converted into valuable products through efficient, safe, and environmentally responsible processes.
The program integrates core chemical engineering principles, digital process modelling, and sustainability-oriented design, preparing graduates to contribute to industries such as energy, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, and materials, as well as for advanced studies at leading international universities.
Program Structure & Learning Journey
The undergraduate programs within the Chemical Engineering IUP follow the semester credit system (Satuan Kredit Semester/SKS). Students typically complete approximately 144 credits over four years of study, designed to provide a balanced progression from foundational sciences to advanced engineering practice.
1st Year : Fundamental Science
Students develop strong foundations in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering thinking. This stage builds the scientific understanding necessary for analyzing material and energy transformation processes in later years.
2nd Year : Fundamental Engineering
Students begin learning core chemical engineering principles such as thermodynamics, material balances, transport phenomena, and process analysis, supported by laboratory work and computational tools.
3rd Year : Advanced Engineering Subjects
Students deepen their expertise in process design, reaction engineering, separation processes, and sustainable production systems. Analytical and modeling approaches are emphasized to address complex industrial challenges.
4th Year : Engineering Practices and Research Project
Students integrate their knowledge through plant design projects, industrial applications, and research-oriented coursework, preparing them for professional practice or advanced studies in chemical and process industries.

Double Degree Program
The Double Degree Program in Chemical Engineering allows students to pursue part of their study at an international partner university and earn degrees from both ITB and the partner institution. Through this program, students complete their final project or thesis under joint supervision from both the Chemical Engineering Department at FIT ITB and the partner university. This experience provides students with international academic exposure, access to global research facilities, and the opportunity to graduate with dual degrees recognized by both institutions.

Exchange Program
The Student Exchange Program in Chemical Engineering allows students to spend one or two semesters studying at an international partner university while remaining enrolled at ITB. During the exchange period, students take courses that can be transferred toward their degree and experience different academic approaches in chemical and process engineering.
This program provides students with international academic exposure, cross-cultural learning experiences, and broader perspectives on global industrial and sustainability challenges.

"Studying abroad helped me grow academically and personally."
My time at ITB shaped both my personal growth and career path. From my first year, I was supported by professors and friends who gave me the confidence to take on opportunities.
Through the IUP double degree program, I spent two years at ITB and two years at the University of Queensland. Taking part in ITB student organisations and case competitions, such as ShARE Consulting Club, TEC ITB, AIChE, and AIESEC, helped me develop skills that led to an internship at PwC Australia and my current role as a Research Assistant at Australia's Food and Beverage Accelerator (FaBA).
FTI ITB encouraged me to stay curious, aim high, and surround myself with motivated people, lessons that continue to guide me today.
