Overview

Sustainability meets digital solutions

In the field of sustainable chemistry, your studies will involve exploring topics such as Green Chemistry, the utilisation of renewable resources, the implementation of efficient chemical recycling processes and the promotion of the circular economy. Additionally, regulatory and legal aspects are integrated into the curriculum.

In your studies, you will also learn how to optimally support and enhance your chemical projects through digitalisation and new technologies, as digitalisation is revolutionising the modern chemical industry and enabling a more sustainable circular economy. The focus is on the utilisation of chemistry-specific software solutions, artificial intelligence (AI), and computer-aided process planning. Additionally, you will gain insights into how major chemical corporations employ AI and powerful supercomputers – such as BASF’s Quriosity – to optimise their processes.

In this interplay between chemistry, sustainability and digitalisation, specialised expertise is highly sought after in the industry, contributing significantly to enhancing efficiency, conserving resources, and fostering innovation.

Close collaboration with the professional association of the chemical industry

The master degree programme is tailored to the needs of the chemical industry. To ensure this, the programme was developed in collaboration with experts from the chemical industry and the professional association of the chemical industry in Austria, among others.

As a graduate, you can, therefore, make a sustainable and practice-oriented contribution to the industry, ensuring that the chemical industry continually evolves through innovations.

Likewise, you will benefit from excellent connections to the chemical industry and numerous opportunities for collaboration during your studies and beyond.
