Course content and objectives
The goal of the degree program is to convey extensive, deep knowledge and skills as well as methods of process engineering in order to enable the graduates to apply advanced scientific methods and insights in an interdisciplinary way. They identify weaknesses and develop tailored solutions. The master’s degree qualifies graduates to start a doctorate.
Based on the broad education, they are able to overcome challenges in research, development, and planning and to take on responsibility for a team. They also have good career prospects internationally. With a completed master’s degree, nothing stands in the way of a career in any successful industry in Germany:
Depending on their personal preferences, they can start their careers in the food industry, the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, with energy corporations, in the medical industry, or in environmental technology. Other possibilities include apparatus and facility construction, biotechnology, the paper industry, the automobile industry, or the cement industry.

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 Examinations Committee of the respective department in coordination with the corresponding degree program advisor/lecturer. Frequently asked questions.

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.
