Master in Process, Energy and Environmental Technology

Sivilingeniør This master programme entitles you to use the protected title “Sivilingeniør”» Why study Process, Energy and Environmental Technology? Would you like to be able to design and evaluate industrial process equipment units, and learn how to produce clean energy without harming the planet? Are you interested in technology used for reducing gas and water pollution? Do you want to be able to make mathematical models and improve processes through simulation studies? Would you like to learn how to estimate the costs of building process plants? The master programme in Process, Energy and Environmental Technology educates engineers who will be qualified for working in all types of processing plants. As an expert in the field, you can help shape the world's future energy consumption and improve industrial production processes. The programme includes the use of experimental equipment and advanced modelling and simulation tools. The programme is taught in English and international students are enrolled in this programme. The vibrant student environment offers excellent facilities and students have close contact with their teachers. Where will I work? With this master you will have the expertise you need to work on the design and operation of processes and processing plants, both onshore and offshore. You can participate in the design or operation of industrial process plants, and you will be qualified to work with process safety as well as production, administration and distribution of energy. You may find work within the public or private sectors as well as research institutions dealing with safety and analyses concerning process, environment and energy issues. Working with the local business community The local business community will be involved throughout this programme, for example through guest speakers from our partnering institutions and through visits to relevant companies. We do extensive research and work closely with our industrial partners. Most of the student projects in our programme are done in partnership with external companies. USN offers career days on campus every year with visits from relevant local businesses. In addition, several of our partners offer summer jobs to students. What you will learn? The master programme provides you with specialized skills and knowledge in the following areas: Process technology and equipment Heat and mass transfer Applied thermodynamics Modelling and simulation Gas cleaning Energy optimization Process safety Process synthesis Process control Project management Cost estimation Team work Research Semester exchange to USN Within this programme there are several exchange opportunities for students from our partner universities. Please contact our programme coordinator for details and course lists. The application deadline for exchange is April 15 for the autumn semester and October 15 for the spring semester. Further studies The master's degree is eligible for doctoral studies at the University of Southeastern Norway or at other universities and colleges in Norway and abroad. Get international experience You can take parts of Process Technology abroad. Studying or taking an internship abroad can give you the opportunity to expand your international competence, language skills, personal qualities and adaptability. It can also make you more attractive in the job market. We have agreements with foreign universities, colleges and internships adapted to your studies. Exchange for Process Technology
