The World needs cleaner and efficient processes to move towards a sustainable society. This requires highly qualified engineers with unique skills to drive the needed changes towards sustainable chemical and manufacturing industries. Graduates from the Sustainable Process Engineering programmes will acquire knowledge and hands-on experience into the design, commissioning, operation, and optimization of chemical and manufacturing processes with special emphasis in sustainability aspects (environmental, social and economic impact). This will be through a series of specialized and challenging modules such as Fundamentals of Sustainability, Carbon Management Technologies, Sustainable Engineering, Sustainable Process Engineering Design Project, amongst others. Students joining the programme will learn about relevant sustainability topics such as energy efficiency, renewable sources of energy, hydrogen economy, life cycle assessment, waste management and utilization, carbon capture, storage and utilization from experts in the different fields. They will also have the opportunity to develop leadership and entrepreneurial competencies and gain practical experience in the use of specialized engineering design and simulation software, as well as in the use analytical equipment that can be applied in industry.

he Sustainable Process Engineering (SPE) programme is designed to help you progress in your learning across different study levels, focusing on various competencies related to the subject. Throughout the programme, you will engage in collaborative work, highlighting the importance of teamwork in both disciplinary and multidisciplinary tasks. Various group tasks, such as design challenges, experiments, presentations, and industry projects, create a flexible learning experience. Authentic real-life challenges help develop your critical thinking skills.
Assessment methods reflect the same progression in learning independence as you advance through your SPE journey. In the early stages, you will receive close guidance from tutors and have access to additional support. Assessments include exams, quizzes, practical tests, and coursework, focusing on fundamental knowledge of Process and Sustainable Engineering. At Level 5, assessments will emphasise how you apply your knowledge to simpler assignments and experimental activities, leading to more independent learning. Levels 6 and 7 will focus on applying advanced SPE knowledge and assessing your ability to create and evaluate solutions.
