Teaching and training



 The Master’s degree in chemical and materials science engineering (KIMA) is a comprehensive and modular training which provides students with the basics of varied application fields, from chemical engineering to process engineering to nanotechnologies to the physics of advanced electronic and magnetic materials, via environmental engineering, sustainable development, and materials science engineering. This curriculum answers the needs of various technical professions and their fast-changing evolution : its comprehensiveness allows one to adapt to rapidly changing technologies and the broad diversity of job opportunities in the fields of chemistry and materials technology, while also developing cutting-edge competencies via the choice of coherent course modules (called 'options'). As a rule, this training is based on the conviction that learning through and towards research is the best way to build a student’s knowledge (academic knowledge, practical knowledge, and behaviour). Throughout the training, the student will therefore have many opportunities to visit experimental laboratories. Industrial visits and a traineeship can complement the training by familiarizing the student with the day-by-day concerns of industrial life.
