Description

The international Master's Degree Programme “Chemistry: Materials, Engineering and Sustainability” is aimed at graduates of Bachelor's degree programmes with a strong focus on materials chemistry or process engineering subjects. The course offers a high degree of freedom of choice of subjects and is divided into two specializations.

In a more chemically oriented focus, students are familiarized with chemical aspects of the development, characterization and application of materials, such as polymer materials and biomaterials or materials for energy storage systems.

In a technical specialization, on the other hand, the focus is on the analysis, modelling and development of chemical-technical production processes or energy conversion processes.

The content taught in both specializations is rounded off by the consideration of ecological, economic and energy aspects as well as the associated life cycle analysis.

Professional Fields of Activity

Graduates from the Degree Programme qualify for employment

• in research and development at universities and research institutions,
• in industrial research and development,
• in production and quality management in various areas of the materials and energy industry (e.g. in the chemical industry, in power plants, in recycling companies) as well as with developers and manufacturers of equipment and production facilities for chemical-physical processes,
• in the scientific service sector (in planning, service and sales),
• in planning and policy-making organizations, authorities and associations

or for a doctorate in natural and engineering sciences.
