Chemical Engineering
The objective of the doctoral program is to give the students a solid, transdisciplinary and advanced education in Chemical Engineering, which will prepare them for leadership in a carrier in engineering, and providing them with the capability of developing independent research and development projects..
Doctors in Chemical Engineering are particularly prepared to carry out scientific and technological research and development, as well as consulting entrepreneurship in the field of Chemical Engineering. Major areas include: the chemical and petrochemical processing, Pharmaceuticals, food processing, environmental protection and clean technologies, new materials, cosmetics, textiles and biotechnology.
Access and ingress
Having a background in Chemistry or Biochemistry is an excellent starting point for a Ph.D. in Chemistry. Nonetheless, candidates holding a science and/or technology certificate at the 2 nd cycle level who are attracted to Chemistry may be accepted, since the doctoral program can be tailored to fill potential gaps in their qualifications.
