Description/content

The aim of the PEESE international Master's programme is to train interdisciplinary and flexible graduates with both scientific and technical as well as economic expertise to contend with the increasing demand in business and society. Through the Master's programme, students will acquire necessary knowledge and skills, becoming familiar with the general and subject-specific methods for addressing and solving challenges in sustainable process and systems engineering. They will be enabled to transition to professional practice or will be prepared for further academic training (at the doctorate level). They will be prepared for the following career paths:

  • In process engineering in the fields of process development, process simulation, process validation, operation, re-engineering of plants, optimisation of processes and sequences, or control engineering
  • In energy technology / energy engineering careers in the design, analysis and optimisation of plants for energy conversion, use of alternative energies, control of regional and national energy supply systems, or safety engineering
  • In environmental technology and management/environmental engineering and management – in industrial production – disposal technology, air pollution control, preventive and end-of-pipe environmental protection concepts, production integrated environmental protection as well as in government agencies and industrial companies in plant construction
  • In bioprocess engineering – in the fields of bioprocess development, bioprocess simulation, process validation, operation of plants in biotechnological and biopharmaceutical production, optimisation of bioprocesses and sequences, or process analytical technologies
  • In research and development – natural scientific, engineering, and interdisciplinary basic research and development, strategies, methods and processes in energy, environmental, process and bioprocess engineering
Course organisation

Students can structure their studies individually. They are, however, obliged to comply with the provisions laid out in the Study and Examination Regulations. The Study and Examination Regulations can be found in the Downloads & Links section on this website: https://www.tu.berlin/fakultaet3/studium-lehre/studienangebot/msc-peese.

A total of 12 ECTS must be earned in compulsory modules.

Compulsory elective modules are worth 60 ECTS and are structured as follows:

  • Process Systems Engineering (12 to 24 ECTS)
  • Energy Technologies (12 to 24 ECTS)
  • Environmental Engineering and Sustainability (12 to 24 ECTS)
  • Management, Transdisciplinary and Intercultural Skills (12 ECTS)

A total of 18 ECTS must be earned in elective modules.

Students have the option of completing an internship and receiving 6 ECTS.

Academic admission requirements

In addition to the general admission requirements set out in Sections 10 to 13 BerlHG, applicants must have Bachelor's or equivalent university degree in chemical engineering, energy engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, material science/engineering, or a related degree programme. The relevant examination committee shall decide on whether the technical and content-related requirements have been fulfilled.

Language requirements
  • Applicants are required to provide proof of English skills at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The relevant examination committee decides on the equivalence as well as on the recognition of the proof of English skills.
  • Applicants with no or only very minimal knowledge of German are strongly advised to acquire German language skills at B2 level by the end of the second semester.
