Objectives

This master's programme brings students to the advanced level of knowledge and skills that is associated with scientific work in the broad sense, and more particularly to those areas of the engineering sciences that are related to chemistry. This programme offers a broad academic training in chemistry and chemical (processing) technology, in which a clear emphasis is placed on chemical analysis in production, quality management and research.

Degree holders are able to apply the acquired scientific knowledge independently in a broad social context. Furthermore, they have the necessary organisational skills to hold executive positions.

The programme-specific learning outcomes are:

Knowledge and comprehension (MK)
MK1  Scientific-disciplinary knowledge and comprehension in the field of Engineering Technology
MK2  Gaining in-depth knowledge and comprehension in at least one of the following disciplines in Chemical Engineering Technology: advanced conversion and valorization processes for waste streams, sustainable processing engineering, acoustic processing, electrochemical technology, membrane technology, polymer technology, advanced materials technology

Engineering skills (MI)
MI1  Problem analysis and solving
MI2  Design and/or development
MI3  Application-oriented research
MI4  Ethical behaviour
MI5  Entrepreneurship

Practical skills (MP)
MP1  To make operational

Generic skills (MG)
MG1  Information gathering and processing
MG2  Communication with engineers and non-engineers
MG3  Critical thinking
MG4  Working in a team in different roles
MG5  Professionalism

The programme also stimulates and strives for students to obtain the following personal development aspects:

• MI4_V Social responsibility
• MG3_V Self-regulation
• MG4_V Cooperative attitude
