A specialization is a set of courses (30 ECTS) that allows students to deepen their knowledge and develop expertise in a particular area within the master’s degree
The specialization will be mentioned in the Diploma Supplement.
Objective: educate the future generation of chemists and engineers to meet today’s challenges, in close collaboration with NCCR Catalysis, a multi-institution program supported by the Swiss National Foundation: https://www.nccr-catalysis.ch/.
Accessible to students having a bachelor degree in either chemistry or chemical engineering.
Registration to the specialization is mandatory by filling the FRAC (specialization section).
