Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Study Abroad

Make an Appointment

Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering students typically study abroad in the spring of their sophomore year. Please note Chemical Engineering students can only take one out-of-major technical elective towards their degree requirements. In addition, spring semester sophomore chemical engineering students typically do not have the pre-requisites to take upper level CHBE courses while abroad. This means most Chemical Engineering students should anticipate taking only 3 courses towards their degree requirements while abroad.

You can view study abroad courses that have been evaluated previously by visiting our International Course Database.

Due to the nature of this program, there is a chance that while Nanyang Technological University offers the above courses each Spring, they could have a time conflict or students may not be able to enroll in all of their desired classes. Students should be prepared that they may need to take a summer course after studying abroad to catch up.
