About this programme

The Process Systems Engineering programme prepares students for work on the design and operation of complex chemical and biochemical production systems using mathematical models and modern computer tools for simulation and optimisation. Attention: This is not a process engineering course of study. The course of study comprises advanced control and production scheduling methods and the systematic acquisition and analysis of experimental data. All courses are taught in English. The Master's programme also includes language courses in which students from abroad will acquire a working knowledge of German and the acquisition of soft skills. In the final semester, the students work on their Master's thesis for six months on a full-time basis. Students learn in a truly international class and work together with fellows from other countries, cultures, and backgrounds. Joint work in tutorials, labs, and project groups will broaden their horizons and enable them to interact respectfully in international teams and organisations.
