  • The objective of this degree is to train professionals to become specialized in the multidisciplinary field of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering so that they are able to create, plan, calculate and design procedures, equipment, industrial facilities and services, taking into account factors such as quality, safety, economy, rational and efficient use of natural resources and preservation of the environment.

  • 1. To have and understand knowledge which provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and /or application of ideas, often in the context of research.
    2. That the students know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their capacity to solve problems in new or unfamiliar surroundings in the widest contexts (or multidisciplinary) related to their field of study.
    3. That the students are capable of integrating knowledge and dealing with the complexity of formulating judgements based on information which, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on social and ethical responsibility related to the application of their knowledge and judgement.
    4. That the students know how to communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and reasoning that support them, to a specialised and non-specialised audience in a clear and unambiguous way.
    5. That the students have the learning skills which allow them to continue studying in a way which will generally be self-directed and autonomous.

  • Mobility

    La movilidad de los/as estudiantes está regulada a través del “Reglamento de intercambios interuniversitarios”. A través de la Oficina de Relaciones Exteriores se gestionan programas de intercambio tanto nacionales (SICUE), como europeos (ERASMUS) y extracomunitarios (intercambios con países de América Latina o países de habla inglesa): Portal Internacional

    Internships

    Las prácticas consistirán en la realización, por parte del alumno, de prácticas en una o más empresas o instituciones, durante 300 h a efectos de obtención de un total de 12 créditos equivalentes (1 crédito ECTS = 25 horas de prácticas). La oferta de prácticas en el Máster se sustentará en el actual Programa de Prácticas Externas en empresa que gestiona la ETSE en el ámbito de la Ingeniería Química.
    Para la organización, gestión y seguimiento de las prácticas externas se nombrará a un Coordinador/a de prácticas en empresas, que se encargará de la asignación de los centros de prácticas y de su seguimiento. Además, el programa asignará al alumno un tutor académico entre el Personal Docente e Investigador del Centro, que hará un seguimiento al trabajo realizado por el alumno y velará por la calidad
    de la estancia realizada, y un tutor externo en la empresa, encargado de garantizar las condiciones apropiadas para la realización de la práctica. La Comisión de Titulación elaborará una memoria anual recogiendo la información relevante de centros asignados, satisfacción de los estudiantes, valoración de los tutores, etc.

  • El Proyecto Fin de Máster consistirá en un ejercicio original realizado individualmente, consistente
    en un proyecto integral de Ingeniería Química de naturaleza profesional en el que se sinteticen las
    competencias adquiridas en las enseñanzas.
    El proyecto puede consistir en un trabajo de investigación, de diseño o estudios de desarrollo científico o técnico, siempre relacionados con las distintas materias del Máster.
    El proyecto podrá realizarse en una estancia en una Empresa, Organismo público, Universidad, Centro de investigación o Centro Tecnológico que haya firmado un convenio de colaboración con la USC en el contexto del Máster, o bien en un Grupo de Investigación de la USC. Salvo cuando la estancia se realice
    en la USC se nombrará un tutor externo además de un Profesor tutor del Máster.
    Los alumnos deberán haber superado todas las demás asignaturas del Máster antes de defender el
    Proyecto Fin de Máster.

  • The teaching staff consists of teachers that belong to the University's departments with proven experience in teaching and research. In addition to the Department of Chemical Engineering, are involved the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Microbiology and Parasitology, Applied Mathematics, Financial Economy and Accounting and Social, Basic and Methodological Psychology.
