The Master's degree programme in Chemical Engineering is aimed at foreign graduates who wish to continue their professional career in responsible positions in industry or science, preferably in Germany, after completing their Master's degree. The modules have been carefully selected to ensure graduates will be qualified to take on responsible positions in German industry or academia. This includes modules that will challenge your practical skills in hands-on laboratory/pilot plant work and modules that will provide essential process engineering knowledge at Master's level. During the course, you will be familiarised with German companies and their organisational structure. This Master’s programme will not teach scientific, engineering or process engineering fundamentals at Bachelor’s level.
The academic discipline of chemical engineering deals with processes in which substances are changed in their composition, type or properties by mechanical, thermal, chemical or biological processes. Electronic materials in cell phones, tables, laptops and desktop computers were obtained from raw materials with the help of chemical engineering. Plastics, paints, coatings and foams that surround you were produced from chemical raw materials with its help. The food and medicines we consume are produced from natural substances with the help of it. Hydrogen, one of the energy sources of the future, is produced with the help of chemical engineering. The greenhouse gas carbon dioxide can be captured with chemical engineering and stored or converted into chemicals, fuels and products. Municipal and industrial residues (waste), waste water and exhaust air streams are treated, purified and/or utilised with the help of it — the list of applications could go on and on.
The degree programme starts in the winter semester. A regular study period of four semesters (two years) is required to complete it.
Thanks to the wide range of optional modules, students have the opportunity to tailor their degree programme to their individual needs. Beyond a sound foundation for all, students can individually put together modules with a focus on one of the following (or combinations thereof):
No integrated internship
107 EUR per semester
Part-time employment on campus (e.g. student assistant, canteen) as well as in town (e.g. in supermarkets, cafés, restaurants)
Different kinds of accommodation are available on campus and in the city of Freiberg.
The average monthly rent for a room in the student halls of residence, including utilities, is 290 EUR. The most common form of accommodation is the shared flat. Each student has their own room, with the bathroom and kitchen shared.
An online application is required to apply for accommodation in the student halls of residence. The recommended time for application is three months before the start of the semester.
