Chemical Engineering for Energy Transition
Chemical engineering is today facing new challenges and opportunities.
In this master’s programme, you will learn how processes are developed and designed. You will learn about traditional chemical engineering, the modelling of unit operations, separation processes, process simulation, process development, computational fluid dynamics, and product and process design. The studies give you the skills you need to work in any sector of chemical or process industry.
In addition, the studies introduce current topics related to the conversion of renewable energy into chemical products, such as hydrogen production, carbon capture, and the synthesis of fuels and chemicals from renewable power. The focus will be on the energy efficiency of processes and competitive product costs. Moreover, the studies deal with process intensification, where compact, energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions will make the chemical industry competitive also in future.
Teaching in this master's programme is based on existing challenges in chemical engineering. The programme includes lectures, exercises, assignments, and student projects. Novel teaching methods are applied. Several courses apply group design projects. The assignments are often about industrial topics and problems in converting power into chemicals.
The programme takes place on campus in Lappeenranta. However, the programme may include some distance learning courses depending on the selections made by the student.
Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.
ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus Tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi. ĮSIDĖMĖK, Prie anketos būtinai turi prisegti dokumentą (anglų kalba), patvirtinantį, kad studijuoji ir šiais metais baigsi savo studijas. Dokumentas turi būti patvirtinas universiteto administracijos.
Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.
Pastaba! Stojant į šio universiteto programas yra reikalingas geras bakalauro studijų įvertinimas, vidurkis turėtų būti 7 ir daugiau. Šie reikalavimai yra orientaciniai ir galutinį vertinimą ar turimų pažymių pakanka atliks LUT universiteto priėmimo komisija.
SVARBU! Anglų testo sertifikatas turi būti atsiųstas kartu su stojimo anketa iki stojimo deadlino.
Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų:
IELTS – 6.5
TOEFL - 90
Eligible previous degrees
University, all countries
Bachelor of Science in Technology, or a closely related field
University of Applied Sciences (UAS), EU/EEA countries and Switzerland
Bachelor of Engineering
Eligibility requirements
To be eligible to apply to the programme, you must have completed the following studies by the application deadline:
24 ECTS credits supportive of Chemical Engineering, for example:
Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering
Work experience relevant to the programme and the field will be considered in the selection process. Applicants must include their certificates of employment to the work experience they have listed. The certificates must indicate whether the job was full-time or part-time and the percentage of part-time compared to full-time (100%). It must also include the name and contact details of the employer and be signed or electronically authenticated by the employer. Certificate should specify:
- the starting date of your employment,
- the date of termination of your employment, or an indication if employment is continuing,
- the nature of your work, e.g. job description, duties, and responsibilities.
Career prospects
You will acquire practical skills and the latest information on practices and trends in chemical engineering.
You will be able to find work in many industry sectors, such as the chemical and process industry, fuel production, pulp and paper manufacturing, food processing, energy production, metal and mineral refining, electronics, or the pharmaceutical industry.
Typical job positions include, for example, research and development specialist, design and project engineer or manager, production engineer and manager, environmental and safety engineer, or sales and marketing engineer.
In addition, you will also obtain a firm basis to continue your studies in doctoral programmes.
