Location of Åbo Akademi University
The two-year programme consists of 12 months of courses and six months of thesis work. There is a three-month summer break between the first and second academic year.
All eleven laboratories at the Department of Chemical Engineering participate and offer a broad basis for the three specialisation topics:
o Process Chemistry
o Process Systems Engineering
o Natural Materials Technology
These topics are relevant for work in the chemical and process industries as well as in research. Special attention is currently paid to the development of sustainable, environmentally friendly processes and products, including topics such as waste minimization, bio fuels, energy efficiency and chemicals from nature.
Upon completion of their studies students receive the degree Master of Science in Technology (Diplomingenjörsexamen).
Graduates have a good opportunity to continue with post-graduate studies, as the Faculty is very active in post-graduate education through research. For instance, it coordinates the national Graduate School in Chemical Engineering.
The Process Chemistry Centre (PCC) is a research group at the Faculty of Technology. It studies detailed physico-chemical processes in complex environments of industrial interest to find novel solutions to industrial processes and products. The PCC has a worldwide network of researchers and industrial companies. Since its founding in 1998 it has twice been appointed National Centre of Excellence by the Academy of Finland, most recently for the years 2006-2011.
The Finnish Science Award was in 2005 granted to one of the professors of the programme, Professor Bjarne Holmbom at the Wood and Paper Chemistry laboratory, who is also an executive board member of the PCC. The award is regarded highly and given in recognition of high-standard research of special significance and international relevance.
Contents
