Overview of the structure of the Master Chemical Science & Engineering
Structure
Schematic view (click image to enlarge)
The global structure for each M-CSE specialisation is as follows:
Year 1 (60 EC's) |
Compulsory Courses | Each specialisation has its own set of compulsory courses |
Profile Courses | Each specialisation has 2 -4 profiles and you get to choose one of the profiles offered |
Elective Courses | You complete the minimum amount of 60 EC's for year 1 by adding elective courses to the compulsory and profile courses, in compliance with the rules for electives as described in the programme specific EER. |
Year 2 (60 EC's) |
Internship | During your second year, you follow an internship within a company in order to gain work experience and apply the knowledge you have gained during your studies |
Final Master's Assignment | You will join one of the CSE research groups and work on your master’s thesis project |
specialisations and profiles of the master CSE
Specialisation: Chemical & Process Engineering (cpe)
The Chemical & Process Engineering specialisation has five compulsory courses (32.5 EC's) and offers a choice from one of four profiles:
- Electrification of Chemical Processes
- Principles of Advanced Process Engineering
- Circular Process Design
- (Membrane) Separations for a Clean Environment
Please have a look at the CPE curriculum (subject to change) to view the courses of each profile.
Molecules and organic materials (M&OM)
Chemistry is called ‘the central science’, because it is at the core of present-day interdisciplinary science and technology. The Molecules and Organic Materials specialization aims to present you with chemical engineering from a molecular perspective and to deepen your molecular thinking in a scientific direction of your choice.
The Molecules and Organic Materials specialisation has 6 compulsory courses (25 EC's) and offers a choice from one of three profiles:
- Molecules and Materials for Health
- Sustainable and Smart Molecular Materials
- Soft Matter (no longer offered per 1/9/26!)
Please have a look at the MOM curriculum (subject to change) to view the courses of each profile.
specialisation: Materials (MAT)
Progress in many branches of science and technology depends critically on the availability of new and better materials that are tailored to the needs of our 21st century global society. From sustainable and recyclable materials to advanced materials for energy harvesting and storage technologies, materials chemistry and materials engineering play a central role in this multidisciplinary field of science.
The Materials specialisation has five compulsory courses (22.5 EC's) and offers a choice from one of three profiles:
- Materials for Sustainability
- Materials for Energy
- Materials Science & Engineering
Please have a look at the MAT curriculum (subject to change) to view the courses of each profile.
Double Degree Programme with the University of Parma
If you choose to follow the Master’s in Chemical Science & Engineering with the specialisation in either Molecules and Organic Materials or Materials, you have the opportunity to follow a double degree, that we offer together with our partner university, the University of Parma in Italy. Upon completion of this two-year programme, you will receive two Master’s degrees:
- Master of Science in Chemical Science & Engineering (UT)
- Master of Science in Chemistry or Industrial Chemistry (UNIPR)
