Location of University of Twente (UT)
The master Chemical Engineering focuses on the development of novel chemical processes, materials and products. This involves expertise in chemistry, physics, mathematics and process technology.
Chemical engineers are creative problem solvers who use physical science (e.g. chemistry and physics), and life sciences (e.g. biology, microbiology and biochemistry) with mathematics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. In addition to producing useful materials, modern chemical engineering is also concerned with pioneering valuable new materials and techniques - such as nanotechnology, fuel cells and biomedical engineering. Chemical engineering largely involves the design, improvement and maintenance of processes involving chemical or biological transformations for large-scale manufacture. However, a chemical engineer also needs management skills, economic knowledge and for example, expertise of environmental aspects. The UT's Chemical Engineering Master's degree course concentrates on these very themes. Studying Chemical Engineering at the University of Twente brings you at the forefront of research and development of innovative chemical processes, novel materials and new products.

Specialities:
Molecules and Materials:
The specialization Molecules & Materials focuses on the preparation, application and analysis of novel materials with high-tech properties. This includes materials chemistry of polymers with defined molecular and mesoscopic structures, inorganic and organometallic polymers and the engineering and analysis of polymer surfaces and interfaces. The research field of Tissue Engineering develops biocompatible and biodegradable polymers that can be used as scaffolds to grow blood vessels and bone/cartilage and investigates polymeric nanoparticles with surface-attached functionalities as carriers for targeted drug or gene delivery. The area of inorganic materials explores metal/ceramic composites with special electrical properties, thin-film technology and controlled preparation of (nano-sized) particles for porous membranes. Molecular technology is developed for the controlled preparation of large, molecularly defined, organic assemblies (2D and 3D) via reversible interactions between the constituents. Such nanoparticles are studied individually to manipulate their shape and function and to communicate with these assemblies.
Process Technology:
The specialization Process Technology focuses on the design of processes that function optimally in their technological, economical, environmental and social aspects. You learn to integrate knowledge of transport phenomena, chemical reactor design, separation technology, plant design, process development, process control and economic/social sciences. Several subjects are studied, including novel (multi-phase) reactors, reactive separation processes and the development and design of specific processes and products for industry. In separation technology, various processes that use solid or liquid separating agents are studied including membrane technology, adsorptive separations of gas- and liquid mixtures, extraction, absorption technology, and separation processes based on ion exchange materials. Novel membranes are developed for selective gas separation, sub-micron filtration processes, affinity separation for selective protein recovery, and facilitated oxygen transport. Other research themes include study of catalytic processes, catalytic materials, biomass conversion processes, optimization and modeling of processes.
Water Technology:
The Water Technology track is offered as a joint track between the Chemical Engineering Programmes at University of Twente and the University of Groningen, the Biotechnology programme at Wageningen University and the Wetsus Institute. These institutions bring together the state-of-the-art expertise in the area of water technology in a single track that is offered in Leeuwarden at the Wetsus Institute. The track focuses on the design of water related processes (biotechnological and chemical) that function optimally in terms of their technological, economical and environmental aspects. You will learn to integrate knowledge of transfer processes, transport phenomena, chemical and/or bioreactor design, separation technology, plant design, process development, process control and economic sciences. The multidisciplinary approach of the track will enable you to accept the challenge of developing new technologies. You can find a full description of the track, its courses, the location and job opportunities at the Wetsus Academy website.
