Verfahrenstechnik (Process Engineering)

  • ASIIN program overview

Three-year Bachelor of Science Course

Process and chemical engineering is the engineering discipline that researches, develops and implements processes for changing materials. As a cross-cutting science, it is concerned with using physical, chemical and biological processes to transform the nature, characteristics or composition of materials with the goal of producing useful intermediate or end products such as fuels, sugar, plastics, proteins, cosmetics, dyes, alcohols, pesticides or medicines.

To achieve these goals, a training in process and chemical engineering should enable students to identify and formulate principles to be applied in planning, calculating, designing, building and running pieces of equipment, machines and entire production systems. The aim is to achieve the required product qualities using safe, environmentally friendly processes and with rational use of raw materials and energy.

After obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Process Engineering, you can continue your studies at the TUHH in:

–> Verfahrenstechnik (Process Engineering)
–> Internationales Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen (Industrial Engineering Management)


–> Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering
–> Joint European Master in Environmental Studies (JEMES) (Funded under the EU Erasmus Mundus network of excellence program)
(Internationally oriented, predominantly English-medium courses)

(Each a two-year Master of Science course)
