University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague

Master in Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering

Chemical engineering concerns itself with the transformation and processing of raw materials into useful products that we encounter in our everyday lives (e.g., packaging, plastics, food, medicine). As a chemical engineer, you will learn to understand, describe, and model various processes to design, manage, and optimise the necessary production equipment for efficient, economical, safe, and environmentally friendly process operation. You can participate in developing new materials or unique technologies based on tailored functional properties of micro- and nanostructures.

An integral part of the programme involves laboratory work, during which you will conduct specific research projects. Numerous possibilities for excursions and internships will bring you the opportunity to visit the top companies in the field, where you can continue your professional career after graduation.

Our Department of Chemical Engineering offers a two-year MSc programme in Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering that raises versatile engineers for a broad spectrum of industries such as chemical, biochemical, biotechnological, petroleum, food, energy, environmental, or pharmaceutical. Our graduates are specialists in chemical engineering with the ability to communicate with team members having different expertise.

Our programme meets the highest European education quality requirements. It is accredited by the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports of the Czech Republic and fully complies with the European education requirements based on the Bologna process. The graduates of the programme earn an MSc degree in chemical engineering.

The programme builds on these 3 pillars:

(i) a thorough understanding of the underlying theory

• Fluid Mechanics
• Mass transfer
• Heat transfer
• Chemical Reactor Engineering
• Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering III
• Separation Methods in Biotechnologies

(ii) teaching various engineering approaches, helping reach results when fundamental science becomes too difficult,

• Mathematical Modelling of Processes in Chemical Engineering
• Process and System Engineering
• Process Engineering and Design
• Mass-Transfer Process Design
