This Master offers
- a unique interdisciplinary programme which prepares you for employment in a professional field related to chemical engineering, materials science or environmental technology.
- a high level scientific education that prepares you to a wide range of job profiles.
the possibility to work in close contact with professors who are internationally recognized in their own disciplines and favor interactive learning.
Become a skilled scientific engineer
The Master of Chemical and Materials Engineering educates students to become innovative engineers who will contribute to their profession and to society.
Engineers in chemistry and materials sciences play a unique role in sustainable development, where they must manage resources, energy and the environment in order to develop and produce novel materials and chemical commodities. Our graduates are prepared to face the demands of the modern technological employment field and for an international career with English as their professional language.
For you?
- You are interested in the development of new materials and chemical processes and in the production of useful commodities
- You are someone with the ambition to become a skilled engineer who can meet the technological challenges of the future
- You are conscious of the environmental challenges of our world
- You are interested in studying in an international environment in the capital of Europe
Job opportunities
Materials and chemical commodities are essential in many technological sectors. Graduates of our department are in high demand in various industrial sectors, and our
alumni are making an impact around the world in research, manufacturing, business
management and education.
Graduates are found in the biomedical biotechnology, chemical engineering, materials
for energy, electronic, optical, (in) organic and metallic materials, the pharmaceutical industry, government positions and teaching.
Contents
The Master in Chemical and Material Engineering (120 ECTS) offers a solid core of courses in both of these engineering fields. The integrated and the multidisciplinary approach provides students up-to-date knowledge enabling them to propose innovative engineering solutions in numerous modern technological sectors. Students have the possibility to specialize in Process technology or Material Science.
The Master of Chemical and Materials Engineering program consists of two profiles: Process Technology and Materials Science
Profile: Process Technology
The Process Technology orientation trains students to become engineers who are employable and innovative both in production units (operation and optimization of production facilities) and in engineering groups (develop new production units that meet desired performance specifications). An emphasis is placed on the biotechnology and food industries. Students are also trained to identify, solve and avoid environmental problems including waste management, water, air and soil pollution.
Profile: Materials Science
The Materials Science orientation prepares students for the materials and materials technology sectors (metals, polymers, ceramics and composites). Students are trained to become creative engineers capable of designing sustainable multi-functional materials which meet specific applications. Students also have the capacity to contribute to the whole life-cycle of materials from their processing into semi or full end products using environmentally friendly and safe production processes to their recycling.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
