General information on the master's degree
Master's degree in Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineering is directly related to the obtaining of products that guarantee our quality of life, such as fuels, solvents, medicines, paints, plastics, detergents, fertilizers and paper. Without them, society as we now know it would be impossible. The global demand for these products generated by the chemical industry is continuously growing, as is the demand for experts in this sector: the aim of the master's degree in Chemical Engineering is to train students for these professions.
