Molecular Science and Engineering

In the programme Molecular Science and Engineering, work is done on innovative techniques that focus on the current sustainability of the (bio)chemical industry. You will learn to collaborate and work together with scientists and lecturers from the School of Chemical Engineering. Furthermore, you will gain knowledge within research projects related to the use of raw materials from sustainable sources, reduction of harmful emissions, valorisation of waste, application of hydrogen technology and electrification of processes. To solve these problems of tomorrow a practical approach is chosen in these research projects to develop solutions for sustainability.

Furthermore, within this programme you are able to boost your professional competences in research (translating real problems into a research strategy and conducting the applied research), experimentation (performing experiments in order to demonstrate usability and applicability) and engineering design (developing and improving products or processes).

All courses will be in “workshop style”. This means that instruction, collaboration, assignments etc. can be part of the courses.

Type of assessment

The assessment methods are varied for the four modules, namely, presentation, short paper and poster. These assessments correspond to the standard scientific communication of research results. The research reports you produce are the base for future teams picking up the research within the long- term research lines. If all four modules are completed with sufficient grades you will get a certificate for completing the 30 ECTS programme.

One semester is divided into two blocks:

Block 1

• Research project (3 days/week)
• Research skills (2 hours/week)

Block 2

• Research project (3 days/week)
• Hydrogen Engineering and Modeling (4 hours/week)

After completing your exchange programme at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, you will receive a:
