Innovative and sustainable chemical engineering master's programme at Chalmers Developing the processes that convert commodities into finished products, decreasing the use of scarce natural resources and fossil fuels and replacing them with renewable alternatives, turning waste into new products, minimizing emissions and developing the next generation of exhaust after-treatment and renewable fuels. These are some examples of where Chemical engineers play a central role in developing the processes and products needed for the transition to a sustainable society. The courses cover the basics of sustainable technology, the production of renewable materials and the efficient use of energy. More depth knowledge is obtained through three profile tracks within the programme: Sustainable development, Modelling and design and Forest-based products and related processes. Biorefinery, CFD- Computational Fluid Dynamics and Process Analytical Technology are examples of courses focusing on emerging fields for chemical engineers. In most of the courses, you will work in groups with open-ended, complex, real-life and case scenario problems i.e. solutions must be found for problems with incomplete and uncertain data. You will have many opportunities to try alternative solutions and evaluate your ideas in comparison to existing industrial solutions. Also, adjunct professors and guest lecturers from the industry present their views on product and process development in this programme. Show less

The master's programme runs for a duration of two years, leading to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. During each year, students can earn 60 credits (ECTS) and complete the programme by accumulating a total of 120 credits. Credits are earned by completing courses where each course is usually 7.5 credits. The programme consists of compulsory courses, compulsory elective courses and elective courses.

Compulsory courses year 1
During the first year, the programme starts with four compulsory courses that form a common foundation in Innovative and sustainable chemical engineering. Each course is usually 7.5 credits.

Biorefinery
Design and analysis of experiments
Industrial energy systems
Advanced chemical reaction engineering

Compulsory courses year 2
In the second year, you must complete a master's thesis in order to graduate. The thesis may be worth 30 credits or 60 credits depending on your choice.

Master’s thesis

Compulsory elective courses
Through compulsory elective courses, you can then specialize in modelling and design, forest-based products and related processes, sustainable development, or a combination thereof. During years 1 and 2, you need to select at least four compulsory elective courses out of the following in order to graduate.

Advanced chemical engineering design + PAT
Cellulose technology
Global chemical sustainability
CDF for engineers
Preliminary plant design
Linear control system design

Elective courses
You will also be able to select courses outside of your programme plan. These are called elective courses. You can choose from a wide range of elective courses.
