Chemical and Pharmaceutical Engineering – (M.Sc.)

“Intelligent“ pharmaceutical drugs can be tailored to the age, sex and lifestyle of the individual. These medical products of the future can be oriented to the characteristics and needs of people and thus have the potential to revolutionise medical care in a fundamental way. Shorter development times and a far more economical production have made pharmaceutical engineering into an economically relevant factor. The four-semester master’s programme Chemical and Pharmaceutical Engineering links the scientific disciplines of Chemistry and Pharmacy with the engineering discipline of Chemical and Process Engineering and thus represents a master’s programme unique in the German-speaking area.

Graduates will be awarded the academic degree of “Diplom-Ingenieurin” or “Diplom-Ingenieur” (Dipl.-Ing), which is internationally equivalent to a “Master of Science” (“MSc”).
