Sustainable polymer and process chemistry

About this programme

Please read carefully the pages Requirements for access and enrolment and Personal background check Sustainable polyMer And pRocess chemisTry (SMART) is designed for students who aspire to master the new sustainability challenges of polymer science and chemical processes, with a focus on upcycling, reuse and end-of-life management of plastic and inorganic materials, all intertwined with the principles of eco-design and the circular economy. The programme combines professional skills with a solid foundation of fundamental science addressing technical and management issues and with an interdisciplinary approach to the synthesis and properties of polymers, chemical engineering, catalysis, and chemical process design, also aiming at innovative approaches to waste management in renewed raw materials for a cleaner environment. At SMART, you will collaborate with industrial partners, immerse yourself in seminars on technical and intellectual property and take the opportunity to be an active participant through flipped classrooms, engaging seminars and cutting-edge master thesis projects. Admission : Bachelor's degree or higher with a major in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Science, Materials Chemistry and related subjects with a cumulative average above 75. An interview may be required to establish eligibility for admission. The degree programme includes subjects such as: Industrial Chemistry, Catalysis, Polymer Science and Technology, Plants and Reactor Technology, accompanied by important laboratory activities.
