About this programme
In most industrialised countries, process technology has an important place in the economy. For example, it occupies approx. a 50% share in German industrial production. Energy engineers work not only in traditional industries but also increasingly in growth areas such as biotechnology, medical technology, and microelectronics. They use physical, chemical, and biological processes in order to convert the composition of a diverse range of materials. Because the study programme is entirely in English, young people from different cultural backgrounds enrol and contribute to an interesting and varied student life. All 22 professors of the faculty are involved in the programme of study. They can access resources that include modern technical equipment, in particular high-quality optical (laser) measuring instruments and very efficient computer technology. Due to many partnerships with industry partners, the Master's programme is application-oriented.
We start the programme with some fundamental lectures on topics such as fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, chemistry, mechanical, thermal and chemical process engineering. This will help students from different countries and various academic backgrounds to reach the same scientific level. Afterwards, we continue with lectures on the application of chemical engineering. At this point, the students can arrange their own modules with lectures and tutorials within the offered courses depending on individual interest. The students get the chance to participate in ten practical laboratory projects (such as estimation of kinetic rate constants, laser droplet velocimetry, determination of heat transfer coefficients). There are excursions to industrial companies offered to get an insight into where the slogan "Made in Germany" comes from. The fourth and final semester is reserved for the Master's thesis as the culmination of the programme. PDF Download

Prerequisites
1. A Bachelor's degree in chemical or process engineering or another closely related field; your Bachelor's programme is considered closely related if it contained: thermodynamics (grade "good" or better) fluid mechanics (grade "good" or better) heat and mass transfer (grade "good" or better) mathematics chemistry technical drawing 2. Applicants are required to have a minimum Bachelor's grade of "good" according to the German scale. This is GPA = 2.30 or better (lower value) or ECTS = B (calculate your GPA). The admission depends on the number of competing applicants. 3. Adequate knowledge of English (see below) Only native speakers from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the USA are exempted from the language requirements. Applicants from other countries must provide official test results, even if English is an official language in their country.
