Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering

Field(s) of education and training (ISCED-F)

• Chemical engineering and processes (0711)

Main focus

; Graduates of this master’s programme will be able to apply the scientific method and principles of engineering and economy to the solution of complex problems in processes where matter undergoes changes in its composition, state, or energy content. They will know how to devise, design, direct, and manage industrial installations, businesses and technological centers in the sphere of chemical engineering in terms of quality, safety, and sustainability. Graduates will be able to carry out research as well as to design and direct the development of engineering solutions. They will be capable of leading and defining multidisciplinary teams capable of successfully dealing with technical changes and steering needs in national and international contexts.

Competences

Students that have completed the second cycle have the following competencies: – Have demonstrated knowledge and understanding that is founded upon a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and/or applying ideas, often within a research context. – Can apply their acquired knowledge and understanding, and problem solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study. – Have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgments with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments. – Can communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously. – Have the learning skills to allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous.
