What you will study
This master's at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense builds on a bachelor's in chemical engineering and biotechnology. It is for you if you want to go further into designing and running chemical and biotechnical processes, with sustainability as the frame around the work.
What you study
The programme teaches you to design, revamp and optimise chemical and biotechnical processing plants and products. You weigh technical, resource and environmental considerations against each other, which is the everyday reality of process work. You also learn to run laboratory work and to develop and validate analytical measuring methods.
The degree opens doors to fields such as phytopharmacology, food products, medicines, clean energy, process development and biorefineries. Consultancy and project management in chemical, environmental and biotechnological industries are also part of the picture.
Admission, language and next steps
The target group is students who already hold a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and biotechnology and want to strengthen their skills. Teaching is in English. The final semester is set aside for the master thesis, which is typically done at or in cooperation with an industrial company.
Study groups work on projects, often with outlines supplied by companies, so the problems you solve have real-world applications. You and your group plan the work and meet the deadlines yourselves. Graduates earn the title Master of Science (MSc) in Engineering Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology. The degree also qualifies you for a three-year research programme leading to a PhD, or for an industrial research programme run with a company that employs you.
Applications for master's programmes go directly to the institution. Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge; other students pay a fee set by the institution.
