Chemistry (Engineering)
In this programme you can specialise in either materials science or biotechnological process control. You will get insight into e.g. chemical metallurgy or physical chemistry.
You will learn e.g. how to use mathematical and chemical knowledge in connection with development of products or production methods.
Name: Chemistry
Type: University Programme
Duration: 2 years
European transfer credits: 120 ECTS
In the Chemical Engineering programme, you learn to apply mathematical, chemical and physical know-how with the development of products and production methods. You will study the properties and chemical reactions of matter, the principles of chemical and biochemical production, and environmental conditions before, during and after production.
In the fourth semester, you must choose one of two profiles:
- Materials Science, where courses include chemical metallurgy in which you learn to understand and assess metals' technologically important properties, and solid matter chemistry in which you learn about solid matter structures and properties
- Biotechnological Process Control, where you follow courses in, for example, advanced physical chemistry, the simulation of biological processes, in which you learn to make models of biological systems on a computer, and protein and membrane biochemistry, where you learn about protein and membrane structures and functions
Teaching varies between lectures and classroom instruction. In addition, there is often project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.
Chemistry can be studied as a:
- 2-year MSc programme (120 ECTS)
You also have the possibility to take single courses or subjects within the programme.
If you choose to complete the master's degree programme, you will graduate with the academic title of Master of Science in Engineering (MSc).
Educational Institutions
You can study Chemistry (Engineering) at the University of Southern Denmark (Syddansk Universitet) in Odense.
