Description
The aim of the PEESE international Master's programme is to train interdisciplinary and flexible graduates with both scientific and technical expertise as well as economic expertise to contend with the increasing demand in business and society. Through this Master's programme, students will acquire necessary knowledge and skills, becoming familiar with the general and subject-specific methods for addressing and solving challenges in sustainable process and systems engineering. They will be enabled to transition to professional practice or will be prepared for further academic training (at the doctorate level). They will be prepared for the following career paths:
- Process engineering in the fields of process development, process simulation, process validation, operation, re-engineering of plants, optimisation of processes and sequences, or control engineering
- Energy technology / energy engineering careers in the design, analysis and optimisation of plants for energy conversion, use of alternative energies, control of regional and national energy supply systems, or safety engineering
- Environmental technology and management/environmental engineering and management – in industrial production – disposal technology, air pollution control, preventive and end-of-pipe environmental protection concepts, production integrated environmental protection as well as in government agencies and industrial companies in plant construction
- Bioprocess engineering – in the fields of bioprocess development, bioprocess simulation, process validation, operation of plants in biotechnological and biopharmaceutical production, optimisation of bioprocesses and sequences, or process analytical technologies
- Research and development – natural scientific, engineering, and interdisciplinary basic research and development, strategies, methods and processes in energy, environmental, process and bioprocess engineering
