Introduction

Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering​, Master of Science (Technology) is a Masters program taught at Aalto University, Finland. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (2 years) options.

The Master’s Programme in Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering leads to a Master of Science (Technology) degree. It focuses on sustainable ways of producing chemicals, metals and fuels. You study environmental, social and economic sustainability, process safety, and the design and development of industrial processes. The programme also prepares you to work on technical solutions for climate change, resource scarcity and the transition towards a more sustainable industry.

The programme takes two years and has 120 ECTS credits. The first year focuses on programme and major compulsory courses. The second year is dedicated to elective studies and the master’s thesis. Teaching methods include lectures, laboratory work and process simulation with computer-aided tools. Many courses are carried out with companies, with industry assignments and real-world projects. Students can also choose elective courses from Aalto and other universities in Finland and abroad.

Aalto University says the programme is for students with a strong engineering background, with a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering or a similar field. You choose one of two majors: Chemical and Process Engineering or Sustainable Metallurgical Engineering. The programme gives a foundation for doctoral studies and prepares graduates for roles across process industries.
