Career Decision Evening 30/11

What does a day in the bulk chemicals industry, pharmaceutical industry and consultancy industry look like? In which functions will I be able to start as a chemical engineer and which career opportunities are there? How do I make a choice among all these chemical giants?

Every chemical engineering student has probably thought about these questions and therefore Chemix organizes the career decision evening on Thursday the 30th of November. This evening, we have invited several alumni to speak about their work experiences in the different sectors of the chemical industry. Each alumni will be at a different table to answer your questions and share their experiences at work. You can hear about the experiences of each alumni, thanks to a rotating system every few minutes. Do you have some extra questions, no problem there will be a reception afterwards where you will be able to speak again with these alumni.
