This two-year, 120 credit MSc in Engineering is taught in English on the Aalborg campus and starts in September. It covers the chemical principles behind everyday materials and their role in research, industry and the environment, teaching students to analyse and develop solutions at the molecular level, make new materials and design reactions for sustainable processes. Theory is paired with practical laboratory work in a problem-based setting with group projects, two research and development projects and a thesis, often with companies or university research groups. Students can focus on inorganic materials, controlled release, functional polymers or separation processes. A three-year option for working professionals is expected from 2028.
