The Master's degree programme in Chemical Engineering (MCE) is a purely English-language programme and lasts four semesters from the start to the completion of the Master's thesis. It is aimed in particular at foreign graduates who wish to continue their professional career in responsible positions in industry or science, preferably in Germany, after completing their Master's degree.

Chemical engineering (abbreviated to "ChemEng") deals with all processes in which substances are changed in their composition, type or properties by mechanical, thermal, chemical or biological processes. The electronic materials in your mobile phone, tablet, laptop or PC were obtained from raw materials with the help of ChemEng. The plastics, paints, coatings and foams that surround you were produced from chemical raw materials with the help of ChemEng. The food and luxury foods you eat and the medicines you consume are produced from natural substances with the help of ChemEng. Hydrogen, one of the energy sources of the future, is produced with the help of ChemEng. The greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is "captured" with ChemEng and stored or converted into chemicals, fuels and products. Municipal and industrial residues (waste), waste water and exhaust air streams are treated, purified and/or utilised by ChemEng. This list could be continued endlessly. Surely you have realised by now that ChemEng is a very relevant future technology for our supply of a healthy environment, energy, basic chemicals and food.

Scholarships

Selecting the right scholarship can be a daunting process. With countless options available, students often find themselves overwhelmed and confused. The decision can be especially stressful for those facing financial constraints or pursuing specific academic or career goals.

To help students navigate this challenging process, we recommend the following articles:

Frequently Asked Questions

Because the needs of the students have been strongly taken into account when designing the degree programme (manageable number of examinations, stringent study options, elective options, application and research relevance at an early stage of the degree programme). Because you appreciate short distances and personal contact with the lecturers. Because you can work as a paid research assistant in current research projects and thus gain insights into the latest research (we need your support for our research projects). Because TUBAF has excellent contacts with donors who support our students in the form of scholarships (the scholarship opportunities are very high!) Because the students are our priority, precisely because we are a small but very research-intensive university. Our graduates are also our doctoral students of tomorrow, with whom we enjoy researching the challenges of the future! Because life (including housing) in Freiberg is not as overpriced as in some other university cities.
No more than five written Master's exams per examination period, usually only four exams per examination period: you don't have to rush from exam to exam! You have the time and opportunity to actually work through the material and learn for long-term memory. Individual options by choosing elective modules from a predetermined module catalogue and by choosing free elective modules: you can develop flexibly according to your engineering interests and also have the opportunity to think outside the box.
