Master's Degree
Programme in Chemical
Engineering
Finnish industry, research and education have long traditions
and experience in many areas of chemical engineering. This
Master's degree programme provides a unique opportunity
to learn chemical engineering in a personal atmosphere and
to take part in the future development in this area. All eleven
laboratories at the Department of Chemical Engineering
participate and offer a broad basis for the three specialisa-
tion topics:
.
Process Chemistry
.
Process Systems Engineering
.
Natural Materials Technology
These topics are relevant for work in the chemical and process
industries as well as in research. Special attention is currently
paid to the development of sustainable, environmentally
friendly processes and products, including topics such as
wasteminimization, biofuels, energy efficiency and chemicals
from nature.
Upon completion of the two-year programme students
receive the degreeMaster of Science Technology) (in Swedish
diplomingenjörsexamen). Graduates have a good opportu-
nity to continuewith postgraduate studies, as the department
is very active in postgraduate education through research.
For instance, it coordinates the national Graduate School in
Chemical Engineering.
Study Environment
In the degree programme, theoretical studies, through lec-
tures with individual or group assignments, are combined
with practical and appliedwork in adequately equipped labo-
ratories. The studies are done under close personal guidance
of teachers and professors. The students study in an interna-
tional atmosphere together with domestic students as well as
international exchange students from many countries.
Trivia
The Process Chemistry Centre (PCC) is a research group at
the Department of Chemical Engineering. It studies detailed
physico-chemical processes in complex environments of in-
dustrial interest to find novel solutions to industrial processes
and products. The PCC has a worldwide network of research-
ers and industrial companies. Since its founding in 1998 it has
twice been appointed National Centre of Excellence by the
Academy of Finland, most recently for the years 2006-2011.
The Optimization and Systems Engineering (OSE) group has
been appointed a Center of Excellence within research at
the Åbo Akademi University during 2010-2014. The research
focuses on theory, methods and algorithms in systems en-
gineering, optimization and statistics, and their applications
in science and engineering. Design, logistic and operational
issues in industrial production are engineering applications
of main interest. The OSE group is coordinated by the Process
Design and Systems Engineering Laboratory.
