Master students are allowed to individually work on a project of their own.

There is a wide range of subjects to choose from. These subjects focus on aspects within the fields of chemical engineering (bio fuels, bio waste, renewable energy, new raw materials, calorimetry) or biochemical engineering (waste water engineering, ecotoxicology, white biotechnology, industrial fermentation technology).

To be allowed to enroll, students must have completed the first two years of a training at a tertiary-level institution.
