Program Outcome
LEQB simultaneously combines solid training in Chemical Engineering and Biological Engineering, giving it a differentiating and comprehensive character, allowing its graduates to easily integrate into various sectors of industrial activity and services.
In addition to providing an excellent preparation in fundamental sciences, the hybrid and integrated training in chemical and biological processes at LEQB will be very advantageous to respond to the enormous challenges of the technological transition towards a sustainable economy. The existence of an integrative project and short-term internships in a business environment facilitate integration into the labor market at national and international level.
Graduates in EQB can also complement their training by enrolling directly in the master's degree in EQB or similar, at national level or within the European Union.
