Shaping sustainable process engineering for the future

The English-taught Master's programme in Sustainable Process Engineering at the University of Bremen prepares you for the challenges of a resource-efficient and climate-friendly industry. You will deepen your knowledge of process engineering fundamentals and learn to incorporate sustainability criteria into the development of process engineering production processes right from the start.

The programme combines a solid foundation in process engineering with state-of-the-art methods in circular economy, renewable energy sources, environmental process engineering, and process optimisation. The curriculum is supplemented by an industrial internship or project work; the Master's thesis can also be written in cooperation with companies.

Graduates are in demand in sectors such as the steel and automotive industries, aerospace, food production, and renowned research institutes (e.g., Fraunhofer IFAM, Leibniz IWT). The program also opens up the possibility of international study visits and offers excellent opportunities for an academic career or entry into industry.
