📚About the Program

Innovative and sustainable chemical engineering master's programme​ at Chalmers Developing the processes that convert commodities into finished products, decreasing the use of scarce natural resources and fossil fuels and replacing them with renewable alternatives, turning waste into new products, minimizing emissions and developing the next generation of exhaust after-treatment and renewable fuels. These are some examples of where Chemical engineers play a central role in developing the processes and products needed for the transition to a sustainable society. The courses cover the basics of sustainable technology, the production of renewable materials and the efficient use of energy. More depth knowledge is obtained through three profile tracks within the programme: Sustainable development, Modelling and design and Forest-based products and related processes. Biorefinery, CFD- Computational Fluid Dynamics and Process Analytical Technology are examples of courses focusing on emerging fields for chemical engineers. In most of the courses, you will work in groups with open-ended, complex, real-life and case scenario problems i.e. solutions must be found for problems with incomplete and uncertain data. You will have many opportunities to try alternative solutions and evaluate your ideas in comparison to existing industrial solutions. Also, adjunct professors and guest lecturers from the industry present their views on product and process development in this programme. Show less
