The degree program

Process Engineering (career-integrated master's degree, distance learning)

  • What is Process Engineering?

    In contrast to process technology, which focuses on specific core operations such as mixing, separating, etc. independently from each other, process engineering considers the production processes as a whole. The interaction of the core operations as well as its improvement and optimization are of interest. In process engineering, computational concept design of chemical plants and subsequent simulation is very important.

  • What are my career opportunities?

    Students will be able to apply advanced scientific methods and knowledge across disciplines, and will be able to identify problems and develop solutions.

    The program is particularly suitable if you plan to take on management tasks within the process industry in the future.

    The degree allows students to pursue a doctorate and provides access to careers in the German higher public service in public agencies.

The right preparation

  • Recognition of coursework from a first degree prog

    Previous academic achievements from a first degree program and/or after a change of degree program or university or following studies abroad, and thus achievements which were completed at another university, may be credited on application post enrollment. Responsible for crediting previous academic achievements is the <link hochschule-anhalt angewandte-biowissenschaften-und-prozesstechnik interna mitarbeiter gremien-vertreter pruefungsausschuss.html internal-link internal link in current>Examinations Committee of the respective department in coordination with the corresponding degree program advisor/lecturer. Frequently asked questions.

  • Information about the NC (enrollment limits)

    Students with a bachelor's degree with an average grade better than 2.5 will be admitted without further requirements. If the average grade is between 2.5 and 3.0, admission can be granted after a successful aptitude test. Bachelor's degrees above 3.0 are not eligible for admission.

  • Applicant Day

    In September of each year, the Köthen Campus hosts Applicant Day.
    All applicants admitted to the program are invited to find out more about their potential new university, the lecturers and the degree program of their choice. Other interested individuals are also welcome to ask their questions of our experts. You can find the date for the next Applicant Day (at least one month before the event) in the university's Veranstaltungskalender event calendar

  • .University Information Day

    In June of each year, the Köthen Campus hosts University Information Day.
    Anyone interested in studying at Anhalt University is invited to get to know the University, our lecturers and students, as well as our degree programs. You can get a personal impression of our facilities and the campus and receive individual advice. The date of the next University Information Day in Köthen as well as at Dessau Campus and Bernburg Campus hiercan be found here

.Important information about the career-integrated degree program

  • Information about in-person classes / online teach

    The periods with required attendance during a semester follow the pattern below:

    • Four times on Fridays and Saturdays for lectures, practical courses, internship, consultations, projects and exams

    • One week of lectures, practical courses, lab/pool classes, consultations, projects, examinations

      Die Präsenzzeiten werden im Voraus bekanntgegeben. Participating in the classes offered is voluntary.

      Aufgrund der aktuellen Lage werden die Lehrveranstaltungen online durchgeführt.

      The positive experiences gained during these online classes will lead to an increased focus on online teaching in the future.

  • Examinations

    All examinations/written exams are held at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Köthen. The examination dates are already included in the attendance phases and take place exclusively within this period.

  • Educational leave

    This degree program is approved for educational leave. You may request educational leave from your employer for up to 5 days per year.

I never thought I could successfully complete the master's degree program without {i>Abitur<i}. But if you are motivated, put in a lot of work and are diligent, you can complete your degree.
