Energy and Process Technology (Master's Programme)

What will you learn?

With a Master’s degree in Process Technology, you will acquire different competences, depending on your specialisation:

• In-depth knowledge of various subjects within energy and process technology 
• Knowledge of basic physics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and mathematics 
• Knowledge of various unit operations with regard to energy and current conditions 
• Knowledge of modelling and computer simulation of processes that take place in equipment and nature
   

Student life
 

The Department of Physics and Technology has a welcoming, international environment. The working environment is informal, with many different nationalities present. The teaching methods are a mixture of lectures, seminar groups, laboratory exercises and excursions. You can also apply for a desk in a study room at the department.

As a student, you will naturally become part of the research groups at the department. You will work closely with a supervisor who has expertise in the topic you choose for your Master’s thesis. In consultation with the supervisor, you will draw up a progress plan that contains important milestones for your project.

Career

There are traditionally very good job opportunities for graduates with competences in process technology. Former students have found work in energy companies (including oil and gas), consulting companies, and various branches of the process industry. The work tasks can vary from developing advanced products and materials to consulting services and the lease/operation of industrial facilities. Many also work with research and teaching.

Our former students work, among other things, as …

• Process engineer 
• Project manager 
• Safety engineer 
• Inspection engineer
