Chemical Engineering - Sustainable Chemical Technologies

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

The degree program in Chemical Engineering – Sustainable Chemical Technologies (CEN) focuses on the use of material resources and their conversion while considering sustainability and thereby evaluating possible effects for future generations. The four-semester Master's degree program imparts advanced knowledge of process engineering with current research topics from the field of 'green technologies' incorporated into the teaching. Students acquire knowledge in sustainability (including process synthesis and intensification, life cycle assessment, green chemistry and catalysis, renewable raw materials and resources, energy, waste, recycling, toxicology, legislation, costs and overall assessment) and can choose 2 additional specializations according to their interests from areas such as fluid mechanics, mechanical process engineering, reaction engineering, separation science and technology, simulation of granular and molecular systems, and technical thermodynamics.
