FAQ
Graduates have a highly-specialised knowledge in the field of chemical process engineering. They are able to demonstrate their competences in chemical engineering as well as at the interfaces to related sciences through scientific correct analysis, argumentation and innovative problem-solving.
The Master’s Programme Chemical Engineering is grouped among the natural science studies.
The Master’s Programme Chemical Engineering is aimed at vocational training in chemical engineering. The programme imparts the subject-specific competences and methods for scientific research as well as for responsible action as a chemical engineer. The master’s programme is the basis for starting a career as chemical engineer in research, technology, industry, as well as in environment and chemical engineering-relevant fields in authorities.
The Master’s Programme Chemical Engineering is the basis for a subject-related doctoral programme.
The Master’s Programme Chemical Engineering has been designed with a focus on current procedural research fields in close connection of theoretical training and experimental/practical competences. Graduates of the Master’s Programme Chemical Engineering have a comprehensive thematical education and at the same time a specialised or advanced knowledge in fields of their interest. Besides of acquiring advanced up-to-date knowledge in chemical engineering, the master’s programme also imparts interdisciplinary key competences and a sense of responsibility with regards to the benefits and risk of natural science research and applications.
The graduates of the study programme are able to carry out scientific research in chemical engineering independently and in a leading role, and to use these acquired competences in an interdisciplinary way to solve issues in process engineering.
