Innovating in Chemical Engineering

Our Chemical Engineering master’s programme is designed to meet the increasing demand for experts in chemical technology. The programme offers two challenging tracks: Chemical and Process Technology and Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry. Both tracks are interdisciplinary and focus on innovations in energy, environment, and material development—crucial topics for a sustainable future.

Chemical and process technology: Designing sustainable solutions

The Chemical and Process Technology track emphasizes developing efficient and sustainable processes for the chemical industry. You’ll dive into process design, reactor engineering, and chemical production techniques. With these tools, you’ll be equipped to find practical solutions to complex issues such as energy efficiency and resource management. This track combines advanced theory with hands-on assignments, where you work closely with industry professionals and researchers. This approach provides you with technical expertise and develops the analytical skills needed to tackle sustainability challenges in the chemical sector.

Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry: Creating new materials

The Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry track offers in-depth knowledge of molecular interactions and material properties. Here, you’ll learn how to design and synthesize new materials for applications in electronics, energy storage, and biomedical technology. Working in state-of-the-art laboratories with access to the latest technologies and equipment, you’ll be at the forefront of innovation. This track is ideal for students eager to contribute to the next generation of sustainable materials and technologies with impact across various industries.

Why choose TU/e?

A master’s degree from TU/e opens the door to excellent career opportunities, thanks in part to the university’s strong connections with industry. Located in the ‘Brainport’ region, Eindhoven is one of Europe’s most innovative technology hubs and home to companies like ASML, Philips, and VDL.

“I chose TU/e because it’s one of the top universities in Europe, located in an important technology hub and with close ties to industry. That gives us unique chances in terms of cutting-edge projects.” Federico Fabbricatore, Master student Chemical Engineering

“The faculty is always available to answer questions. Research here is really close to the industry, not hypothetical, but aiming to address real life problems, which I prefer.” Rucha Kakatkar, Master student track Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry

“I chose TU/e because it’s a renowned university with English-language programmes and excellent connections with industry. Eindhoven is great, a compact city with friendly people. And the programme is challenging and very interesting.” Pétur Gíslason, Master student track Chemical and Process Technology
