Name: Chemical and Biochemical Engineering
Type: University Programme
Duration: 2 years
European transfer credits: 120 ECTS
Language: English
Chemical and biochemical engineering deals with the transformation of raw materials into a product. Engineers in this field work with research and development of methods of e. g. large scale production of pharmaceuticals or cost-effective production of high tech materials with special properties in areas like IT, communication, health and transportation.
In the programme, you learn about and work with methods based on mathematics and natural sciences (including biochemistry) used in research and development of processes leading to new or improved products.
Products and processes span a wide field, but in the MSc thesis work you will focus on a more narrow application of the methods to subjects such as development of medicines, advanced fuel production and use, pollution control, advanced materials design and production, or production systems design.
The programme offers three recommended study lines:
- Chemical and Biochemical Process Technology
- Chemical and Biochemical Product Design
- Energy and Environmental Engineering
Teaching varies between lectures, classroom instruction, exercises and project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.
The final 6-12 months you will be making your MSc thesis. The thesis is a scientific research project, often carried out in collaboration with one of university's industrial partners.
Chemical and Biochemical Engineering can be studied as a:
- 2-year MSc programme (120 ECTS)
You also have the possibility to take single courses or subjects within the programme.
If you choose to complete the master's degree programme, you will graduate with the academic title of Master of Science in Engineering (MSc).
