(Process and Chemical Engineering)

Two-year Master of Science course

Process and Chemical Engineering is the engineering discipline that investigates, develops and realizes material change processes. As a cross-cutting discipline, it is concerned with applying physical, chemical and biological processes to transform the nature, characteristics or composition of materials, with the aim of generating useful intermediate or final products such as fuels, sugar, plastics, proteins, cosmetics, dyes, alcohols, pesticides, or medicines.

To achieve the said goals, training in process and chemical engineering should enable students to recognize and formulate laws whereby apparatuses, machines and entire production systems can be planned, calculated, designed, built and operated. The required product qualities should be achieved using safe, environmentally friendly processes that involve a rational use of raw materials and energy.

The Master Program in Process and Chemical Engineering includes a wide-ranging special study of process and chemical engineering, along with scientific consolidation of training, building consecutively on the Bachelor in Process and Chemical Engineering.
