8 Process Engineering Master's Degree Programs in Europe

Like many of the programmes available at ÅAU, this programme has been carefully structured to ensure that graduates are not only equipped with the necessary skills to succeed within their chosen career, but also, to ensure that they are adaptable to the ever-changing face of modern industries. Through practical and theoretical studies, this two-year programme aims to provide students with an in-depth understanding of sustainable chemical and process engineering as a field and its imperative value to the growth of areas such as biofuel, energy efficiency, waste management and many more.

Graduates of the Master in Chemical and process engineering: Sustainable Technologies and Biotechnologies for Energy and Materials will have the training to go on to work in numerous fields, including the conventional chemical and process industry (petrochemical, specialty chemicals, pharmaceutical), the wide-spread energy industrial sectors (up-stream and down-stream Oil&Gas, energy generation, green energy production), and many other specialized sectors (material production, food technologies, industrial biotechnologies, etc.).

A graduate of the master’s degree study program Production Processes and Materials in the Mechanical Engineering field of study can characterize the properties and uses of traditional and progressive construction and tool materials.

In three semesters, the Master in Process Engineering program equips students with advanced knowledge in chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and thermal process engineering, biotechnology or food technology.

The Master's degree program in Environmental, Process, and Energy Engineering provides comprehensive knowledge to design both existing plants and new concepts in a sustainable manner. Graduates have excellent career opportunities in the field of "Green Technologies". Economic and law topics taught in the curriculum round out the master's program from a fundamentally sound and international perspective.

Chemical Engineering involves the development of sustainable and safe Processes to convert raw materials into value-added products. In a word, “Transformation”! Thus, a Chemical Engineer is devoted to the design, development, sizing, improvement, application and operation of Processes (chemical, physical or biological) that allow the desired Products to be obtained.

This programme is aimed at candidates with a university degree who wish to become more highly qualified with a view to taking on expert and management roles in the fields of technical development, logistics, purchasing, production, manufacturing, planning, or consulting. Upon completion of this Master's degree, you will be qualified for employment in many fields, from technical development, logistics, and purchasing to all areas of production, manufacturing, and planning, as well as consultancy work. Many companies are setting up special departments with names such as Supply Chain Optimisation, Lean Management, Process Design, Process Management, etc. that deal with the comprehensive optimisation of processes and methods. This in-depth training will make you highly suitable for positions in these areas. After successfully completing your studies, you will be awarded the academic degree of Master of Business Administration and Engineering (or MBA & Eng for short). In contrast to an MBA in Business Administration, the MBA & Eng have a technical orientation and is thus tailored to the needs of industrial engineers, engineers, natural scientists, and specialists in business administration with a technical background. This degree qualifies the holder to undertake doctoral studies. It is possible to participate in individual modules of the course: - Energy audit in manufacturing processes - Lean Administration This course has been successfully accredited by the Accreditation Agency for Degree Programmes in Engineering, Informatics, the Natural Sciences and Mathematics (ASIIN) until 2019.

The MEngSc in Biopharmaceutical Engineering programme provides substantial coverage of scientific, technical, management and regulatory issues associated with this industry. This programme aims to offer an internationally recognised, high-quality flexible curriculum, which follows the latest science and technology developments.
