M.Sc. Sustainable Process Engineering
The Master’s program starts in the winter semester 26/27.
Get started as an engineer for sustainable processes and become part of the transformation to a climate-friendly future!
Shaping sustainable process engineering for the future
The English-taught Master's program in Sustainable Process Engineering at the University of Bremen prepares you for the challenges of a resource-efficient and climate-friendly industry. You will learn to incorporate sustainability criteria into the development of production processes from the outset and to consider product life cycles holistically.
The program combines sound fundamentals of process engineering with cutting-edge methods on topics such as the circular economy, renewable energy sources, environmental process engineering, and process optimization. The curriculum is complemented by an industrial internship or project work, and 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.
