About the programme
Smart SustainChemE is a two-year international master's programme worth 120 ECTS credits. Through a multidisciplinary approach, students develop expertise in:
- Sustainable chemical engineering
- Process design and optimisation
- Environmental technologies
- Digital transformation and automation
- Artificial intelligence for industrial applications
- Circular and sustainable product development
The programme is delivered by a consortium of leading European universities, bringing together expertise in engineering, sustainability and advanced digital technologies.
International study experience
Throughout the programme, students study in different European countries and build valuable international, technical and intercultural skills.
The consortium includes:
- Université de Lorraine (France)
- Technical University of Crete (Greece)
- Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava - STU (Slovakia)
- Hasselt University (Belgium)
Your first two semesters will be spent in Lorraine (France) and Chania (Greece).
In semester 3, Students can further specialise through one of three advanced pathways:
Smart Cybernetics for Chemical Engineers - STU (Slovakia)
Focus on automation, modelling, process control and digitalisation in industrial environments.
Sustainable Packaging and Advanced Materials - Hasselt University (Belgium)
Focus on sustainable materials, packaging innovation and circular design principles.
Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Process and Product Design - Université de Lorraine (France).
Focus on applying AI and data-driven approaches to optimise industrial processes and products.
In your final semester, you will complete your master's thesis and a 16-24-week research project or internship.
