Postgraduate CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY and ENGINEERING (MSc)

Entrance Exam Description

Subjects of the exam: English Language, specialty exam.

Program Structure

The curriculum is organized to provide both advanced theoretical foundations and practical engineering skills, fostering professional competence and readiness for real-world challenges:

1. Advanced Scientific and Technological Foundations
This module deepens students’ understanding of chemical engineering science: Thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical processes; Transport phenomena and reactor engineering; Chemical process modelling and simulation; Advanced polymer and material chemistry.
These subjects form the theoretical backbone needed for complex process design and analysis.

2. Professional Chemistry and Technology Courses
Core courses focus on modern chemical production methods and systems: Chemical process design and optimization; Chemical reactors and unit operations; Separation, purification and industrial processing; Sustainable and green chemical technologies; Engineering of industrial systems and automation.
These courses provide students with tools to develop, scale, and manage industrial chemical processes.

3. Applied Projects and Laboratory Practice
Hands-on experience is integral to the programme: Laboratory research with advanced instrumentation; Process design and modelling projects; Case studies on industrial chemical systems; Collaborative team assignments that mimic real engineering scenarios.
Practical training prepares students for direct contribution in technological environments.

4. Electives & Specialized Streams
Students can tailor the programme to match their interests by selecting advanced topics such as: Polymer and composite materials technology; Energy and environmental chemical engineering; Nanotechnology and materials innovation; Process digitalization and automation.
These electives allow further specialization and support career focus.

5. Master’s Thesis
The capstone of the programme is the Master’s research or applied engineering project.
Students independently investigate a significant problem, develop solutions, and demonstrate their ability to integrate scientific analysis, engineering design and practical implementation — typically in collaboration with industry or research partners.
This project showcases mastery of the subject and readiness for professional or research careers.
