In today’s world, environmental, social, and economical sustainability as well as process safety are at the very core of the development of processes where raw materials are converted to other chemicals, metals, and fuels. Industry experts are expected to know how to, for example, improve processes’ energy efficiency and advance towards a circular economy by reducing waste and recycling products.

In the Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering (CME) Master’s Programme, the main focus is on sustainable process development and implementation combined with the responsible use of natural resources. Students graduated from the programme have the necessary skills to work in varying process fields, such as the metallurgical, chemical, energy, forest, food, and pharmaceutical industries as well as the energy sector. Graduates are set for an exciting and meaningful career that enables them to accelerate the green transition. 

On top of the skills acquired from their chosen major, our graduates have the same basic knowledge of the Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering field. All our graduates are able to:


  • Apply engineering, natural sciences, and mathematics to solve complex problems in a chemical or metallurgical engineering context.
  • Design sustainable industrial-scale processes.
  • Aid the transition towards the use and production of renewable and recyclable resources.
  • Make decisions based on raw materials’ criticality and availability.
  • Select and design unit operations and processes for industrial applications.
  • Demonstrate critical thinking skills in multidisciplinary groups to design economically feasible, safe, and ecological industrial processes.
  • Use computer-aided tools for process modelling, simulation, and control.
  • Follow the development of the field as well as acquire and use new scientific, technological, and societal information.
  • Devise and communicate strategic outcomes that meet academic, industrial, and societal requirements.
