Hamburg University of Technology Hamburg · Hamburg

About the Program

Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering is a new multidisciplinary programme. It offers the opportunity to gain a broad knowledge in both biotechnological processes and classical chemical engineering. Close collaboration between these disciplines is a special feature of the engineering departments at TUHH in both education and research. Apart from basic knowledge in biological and biocatalytic processes, separation technologies, mechanical and reaction engineering, Master's students will gain an insight into the most challenging problems on the boundaries between these disciplines and participate in the collaborative research of several departments. The technological challenges of modern society and the requirements of the globalised labour market call for an excellent engineering education as well as for a sound additional qualification in the fields of business and management, soft skills and humanities. Therefore, the international Master's degree courses at TUHH include a number of non-technical compulsory elective courses. You are passionate about engineering, but do you want to go beyond? You can combine this course with a part-time MBA programme in Technology Management at the NIT Northern Institute of Technology Management. Therefore, you will meet the industry demand for engineers with a business education. You will graduate with two Master's degrees simultaneously and benefit from multiple career perspectives.
