Curriculum of Chemical Engineering MSc - General subjects

Subject programs can be viewed by clicking on the code of the subject. Web pages are linked in the column "Web" if a dedicated page is available for the subject. Lect/P/Lab abbreviates lectures/practical lectures/laboratory.

The general subjects are grouped in to different modules. The categories are indicated with their abbreviation after the name of the subject.
Subjects with are not indicated with the abbreviations, are mandatory (4 subjects, 16 credits, and the Thesis I. and Thesis II., 30 credits).

The rule for the selection of the different subjects for the individual moduls is the following:

  • Natural Science modul (NS):
    from 5 subjects the selection of 4 is mandatory

  • Social and human modul (SO):
    from 4 subjects the selection of 3 is mandatory

  • Professional knowledge (PK):
    from 2 subjects the selection of 1 is mandatory
