Program Overview

Introduction to the University Program

The BME Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology offers a Master's program in Chemical Engineering with five specializations:

• Analytical and Structural Examination
• Materials Science
• Chemical and Process Engineering
• Pharmaceutical Engineering (not available in 2017)
• Plastics and Fiber Technology (not available in 2017)

Admission Requirements

For admission to the Master's program, a diploma from the Chemical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering Bachelor's program can be considered with full credit recognition.

For diplomas from other fields, admission is conditional upon the student having at least 40 credits from the following 70 credits:

• Natural Science Fundamentals (mathematics, chemistry (at least 10 credits), physics, materials science, biology): 20 credits
• Economic and Human Knowledge (economics and management, quality assurance, occupational safety, social sciences): 10 credits
• Chemical Engineering Fundamentals (process engineering, chemical measurement technology and analysis, control technology, safety technology, quality assurance, chemical and environmental technology, chemical industry technologies): 40 credits

If the total credits recognized during the admission process exceed the minimum of 40 but do not reach the required 70 credits, the missing credits must be acquired within two semesters from the start of the program, in parallel with the Master's degree program, according to the regulations of the BME.
