Process Engineering (MPE)

Overview

In three semesters, the  Process Engineering (MPE) program from Offenburg University of Applied Sciences equips students with advanced knowledge in chemical and thermal process engineering, biotechnology or food technology. Additionally, they receive training in the intercultural competencies that are essential qualifications in process engineering's increasingly multicultural environment.

The winter semester takes place in Offenburg and the summer semester in Olsztyn/Poland. The Master's Thesis can be written either at one of the participating universities or externally in a suitable company or institute.

Objectives

The main objectives of the MPE study program are to:

• strengthen the engineering skills of students in future oriented areas of process engineering
• foster a holistic understanding of the global socio-economic environment through mediation and economic aspects of intercultural competence

• prepare students for either a career in science and research or for leadership positions in private industry or public service 

Career Prospects

The modules in the master's degree program in MPE are designed to enhance and deepen students' knowledge the most important areas of process technology: chemical, thermal, mechanical, and biological engineering. 

In addition, students also aquire knowledge of scientific working methods, economics, and intercultural competence. In the practice oriented phase, students get to know at least one external institution. 

Graduates are well prepared for a career in civil service, private industry, or academics. For Process Engineering the Offenburg University does not offer an own PhD program, but there are limited options in joint projects with partner universities.
