About the Programme


The Master’s Degree Programme “Innovative Process and Product Engineering” (120 credits) is a two-year degree programme in the field of chemical and process engineering. In practice, this means three semesters (30 credits each) + one semester for the master’s thesis project (30 credits). One year of studies comprises 1,600 student work hours and gives 60 credits. A specific goal of the programme is to promote and develop students’ ability to create innovations and new technology.

The main characteristics of the M.Sc. Programme are:
  • Development and support of innovativeness and creativity of the students by offering interdisciplinary education and special courses focusing on the development of innovation-related skills.
  • Strong industrial orientation of the studies, focused on pulp and paper, fine and commodity chemicals and metallurgical industries.
  • Deep scientific basis of the education is ensured by the fact that the main topics of the curriculum correspond to the main research fields of the Department.
  • Special focus is given on the communication skills needed in the working environment. This is done by offering specialised courses on the subject and by integrating teaching of communication skills into subject and advanced studies.
