Admission profile
The degree in Chemical Engineering of the Higher Polytechnic School aims to train industrial engineers in the field of chemistry providing the student with solid foundations in industrial chemical processes from its conception to its correct operation, with a high practical content. The chemical engineer is the expert in the conception, calculation, design, construction and operation of facilities or equipment in which the matter undergoes a change of state, energy content or composition.
It also aims to promote the acquisition of skills and abilities necessary in a professional to solve the different problems efficiently, safely and economically in pharmaceutical, chemical, paper, petrochemical, electronics and microelectronics, polymer, biotechnology, environment , as well as in any type of company or administration.
To gain admission to bachelor’s degree courses at Catalan public universities applicants must pre-enrolment on the announced dates choosing a preferable course and submitting required documentation.
From the 2018-2019 academic year, students who want to take this degree or the Degree Industrial Organisation and Logistics Engineering must pre-register, and are assigned, to a single entry, common to all these degrees. More information can be found on this link.
More information about the pre-enrolment can be found on the Catalan University Admission Advisory Office webpage (l’Oficina d’Orientació per a l’Accés a la Universitat de la Generalitat de Catalunya), which is responsible for the admission processes of all Catalan public universities.
To calculate the admission mark, the two qualifications of the subjects passed to the specific phase will be chosen which, once weighted, give the highest marks.
The parameters of weighting of the subjects of Baccalaureate type assigned to the branches of knowledge of degrees, which will be applied for access to the university, can be consulted in this link

To be admitted to a university degree course foreign applicants must keep in mind that admission procedures depend on their previous academic background and the course of studies they are interested in pursuing at the UdL. More information about these requirements can be found here.
Single entry for Pre-registration: Common Trunk Industrial Engineering - Igualada
From the 2018-2019 academic year, students who want to study one of the two industrial engineering courses offered by the Escola Politècnica Superior, on the Igualada campus (Chemical Engineering / Engineering in Industrial Organization and Logistics) pre-register, and are assigned to a common single entry you will find with the name:
"Chemical Engineering / Engineering in Industrial Organization and Logistics (Grouping) (Igualada)"
The common core of industrial engineering contains all the subjects of 1st and 2nd year of these two degrees of the industrial branch of the Igualada campus and of the three degrees of the industrial branch of Lleida (Mechanical Engineering, Industrial and Automatic Electronic Engineering and Engineering of Energy and Sustainability) therefore allows the student to have the flexibility to choose their engineering from 3rd year.
