Discontinuation of the Master's programme

This master's programme is being discontinued as a result of a redesign of master's studies at the School of Chemical Engineering. You can find more information and answers to frequently asked questions on the Master's portfolio renewal - Student information page.

The Master's portfolio renewal - Student information page offers information for both bachelor's and master's students. BSc students can learn how to continue to one of the new MSc programmes from bachelor's studies. MSc students can find out about how to continue studies in one of the discontinued MSc majors or how to transfer to one of the new MSc programmes during the transitional period, which ends on 31 December 2025. The page is being regularly updated, and will eventually also include the course substitution tables and link to the transfer application form.
