Chemical and biochemical engineering deals with the methods used to transform raw materials into products. Engineers in this field work with the research and development of technology used in the large scale production of chemicals and pharmaceuticals or the cost-effective production of high tech materials with special properties for use in areas like IT, communication, health and transport.
You will learn about and work with methods based on mathematics and natural sciences (including biochemistry) that are used in the design and up-scaling of processes leading to new or improved products.
Products and processes span a wide field, in the MSc thesis work you will focus on a more narrow application of methods, e.g. in the development of pharmaceutical processing equipment, advanced fuel production and use, pollution control, advanced materials design and production, or production systems design.
The programme covers three engineering fields:
- Chemical and Biochemical Process Technology
- Chemical and Biochemical Product Design
- Energy and Environmental Engineering
Teaching varies between lectures, classroom instruction, exercises and project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.
The final 6-12 months you will be writing your MSc thesis. The thesis is a scientific research project, often carried out in collaboration with one of the university's industrial partners.

If you choose to complete the master degree programme, you will graduate with the academic title of Master of Science (MSc) in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering.
