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. 

Students can choose between two majors: 

1. Chemical and Process Engineering

  • Heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics
  • Unit processes, such as chemical conversion and development of new materials
  • Unit operations, such as purification technologies, utilisation of side streams, and separation of valuable materials
  • Process system engineering covering process modelling, simulation and control


2. Sustainable Metallurgical Engineering 

  • Hydrometallurgy
  • Pyrometallurgy
  • Minerals engineering
  • Sustainable minerals processing and engineering
  • Metallurgical thermodynamics and kinetics
  • Circular economy in metals and other materials
