Chemical Engineering Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava

Overview

A graduate of the study programme Chemical Engineering from Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava knows:

• to assess the essential contexts, principles and theories describing physical and chemical processes 

• to analyze physical and chemical processes, interpret the laws that govern the processes applied in various branches of chemical, food and pharmaceutical technologies including the field of environment protection

• to assess the quality of chemicals and their ecological and toxicological properties, relationship between the structure of materials and their properties

• to evaluate the issues of production and separation of chemical substances and materials, to assess the methods of modification of these substances

• to independently solve complex theoretical and practical problems of chemical technology and its management

• to identify and to evaluate the basic safety issues of chemical production and the risk associated with the operation of the technology

• to independently and creatively interpret and analyze professional texts and work with sources of information

• to compile and solve mathematical models of unit operations, reactors and bioreactors, in which they applies knowledge of chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, physical equilibria, mass, momentum and heat transfer

•  to model processes taking place in simple and complex systems in order to optimize material consumption and production costs as well as to minimize the impact of technology on environment

Employability of graduates

The master degree of the Chemical Engineering study programme is fully compatible with equally focused study programmes in the world. This study programme prepares graduates who find application both in industrial practice and on academic ground in basic and applied research and development. Graduates of the study programme acquire comprehensive knowledge, experience and competencies in the field of Chemical Engineering and Technology. 

Therefore, they are ready to hold positions at various levels of management of chemical, biochemical, food processing, petrochemical and pharmaceutical production companies, as well as in environmental technology, optimization of energy costs of production units and in the field of production safety.
