Chemical Engineering - Mastertrack Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)

Overview

Within the  Chemical Engineering - Mastertrack Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry programme from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) , you can choose to focus on polymer chemistry, polymer technology, or materials and coatings technology.

Designing and making molecules with high specificity is a key competence in chemistry. Engineers with a solid molecular background play a prominent role in developing and improving chemical systems ranging from novel catalysts to biomedical materials. 

These engineers work at the frontiers of science, learning the rules that govern chemical self-assembly and applying them to new areas like organic solar cells and responsive materials.  

As a materials scientist you will work on developing novel or existing materials and processes. This includes the synthesis and characterization of polymeric materials as well as processing into a final product or device. 

Career opportunities:

• The MSc programme in Chemical Engineering prepares you for a varied career and gives you broad options when you face the job market. For example, you could work as a researcher, a research team leader, a process or product engineer, an environmental advisor, policy assistant  or lecturer. 
• Many managers working in the chemicals industry have a background in chemical engineering. In trade and industry you can start work in a job in which your organizational, coordinating and supervisory qualities are required. Governments, too, employ numerous chemical engineers. 
• For example in environmental services and water boards, and in healthcare. You will even find our graduates in design consultancies and patent offices.
