Chemistry and Chemical Engineering<br />
<strong>MSc</strong> in Advanced and Applied Chemistry<br />
Semesters: 4<br />
Study credits: 120 ECTS<br />
Start: September 2007<br />
Seats: 60<br />
Application date: March 15 or June 1, 2007<br />
Today chemistry is everywhere in our world. Mastering chemistry is crucial for the design of a wide<br />
range of both everyday consumer products and novel, environmentally friendly materials, products<br />
and processes. Design of materials with tailor-made properties is based on an enhanced understand-<br />
ing of their synthesis, physico-chemical characteristics, characterization and structure-property rela-<br />
tionships. Such understanding and interrelationships need to be mastered both at a molecular and<br />
nanoscale level. Engineers with this background are expected to collaborate with those involved in<br />
the production of the final products and those designing the necessary processes.<br />
This <strong>MSc</strong> program provides a broad knowledge of the design of advanced materials both at a<br />
theoretical and experimental level. This is accomplished via courses covering the chemistry, synthesis,<br />
physical chemistry and production of such materials. Extensive collaboration with Danish and other<br />
companies is possible as part of courses, specific projects or during the <strong>MSc</strong> thesis.<br />
There is a variety of specific possibilities based on own interest by choosing:<br />
- one of the three specializations in areas of high technological and scientific interest (polymer<br />
engineering, catalysis and nanotechnology, pharmaceutical technology).<br />
- study lines in essentially any field of advanced and applied chemistry. As examples can be<br />
mentioned analytical chemistry, materials and environmental chemistry.<br />
Career opportunities: In a wide spectrum of industries ranging from chemical and<br />
pharmaceutical up to polymer – materials including<br />
their research and development departments.<br />
Also environmental organizations and authorities as well as<br />
consulting. Finally, qualified interested candidates can<br />
continue for PhD studies.<br />
Prerequisites: BSc degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, biochemical<br />
engineering, chemical technology, biotechnology, environmental<br />
engineering or related fields.<br />

Chemical and biochemical engineering are at the core of modern society’s transformation of raw<br />
materials of any kind into products characteristic of the post-industrial age. Chemical and biochemical<br />
engineers enable large scale production of drugs, inexpensive production of bulk chemicals and<br />
fuels, and economical production of advanced, special-property materials used in as diverse fields<br />
as communication, health, medicine, and transportation. Prevention of environmental harm from<br />
new productions in the design stage and effective abatement of pollution from existing sources are<br />
based on the scientific and technological insight of chemical and biochemical engineers. Addressing<br />
today’s concerns and making future growth possible with diminished use of material and energy<br />
resources require well-educated chemical and biochemical engineers.<br />
The two-year <strong>MSc</strong> program integrates chemical and biochemical engineering and technology in<br />
one education, yet preserves great flexibility in the choice of subjects included in any individual<br />
study plan. Depending on interests, focus may be on biotechnology or on chemical engineering,<br />
but it is also possible to balance the content from the two fields. Add to that the nearly free choice<br />
of electives from <strong>DTU</strong>’s advanced courses and you have a program adaptable to the needs of both<br />
in-depth and cross-disciplinary education.<br />
Having completed the program, you may continue with Ph.D. studies or you may start an industrial<br />
career directly. In either case, this <strong>MSc</strong> program gives you a solid starting point for contributing to<br />
the development of your society.<br />
Study lines: Chemical and Biochemical Process Technology<br />
Chemical and Biochemical Product Engineering<br />
Energy and Environmental Engineering<br />
Career opportunities: Graduates are qualified for research and development in<br />
both university and industry contexts.<br />
Prerequisites: BSc degree or equivalent in chemical engineering, chemical<br />
technology, biochemical engineering, biotechnology,<br />
environmental engineering or related fields. A strong working<br />
knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences, especially<br />
chemistry and, thermodynamics, and basics of bio-sciences.<br />
