Materials Chemistry
Society is increasingly relying on chemistry in creating materials that are more environmentally sustainable, more durable, lighter, consume less energy and are cheaper. Centred around organic- and inorganic chemistry, polymers and nanotechnology we train you in how to use these tools in tweaking molecules to give materials specific properties. This could range from high temperature corrosion resistant materials and materials for catalysts in a chemical process or in cars to nanomaterials that have unique traits and precision targeted ng fields where materials chemistry stands for great opportunities are e.g. biodegradable detergents, solvent free paints, polymers made of renewable recourses, polymer based solar panels and diodes, thermoelectric materials that transfers heat to electricity and handling complex emissions from fuel efficient engines that rely on biofuels instead of fossil programme provides you with an engineering education within the materials field where emphasis is on synthesis, chemical characterisation, physical and chemical properties and applications, and top down chemical nano manufacturing. There is also a close connection to industri

Innovative and sustainable chemical engineering, MSc
Chemical engineers shape the future by creating sustainable solutions. They design processes that turn raw materials into finished products, reduce our reliance on limited natural resources and fossil fuels, and replace them with renewable options. They transform waste into new products, cut emissions, and develop cleaner exhaust systems and renewable fuels. If you want to drive the transition to a more sustainable society, chemical engineering is where you can make a real impact.
This programme gives you a solid foundation in sustainable technology, renewable material production and energy efficiency. You’ll deepen your expertise by choosing one of the programme’s focus areas. Such as chemical process design, green technology, modeling and design, or biorefining and forest biomass processing. Courses like biorefinery, computational fluid dynamics and global chemical sustainability prepare you to tackle the challenges you will face in the chemical engineering field.
In most courses, you’ll work in group projects to solve open-ended, real-life case problems with incomplete and uncertain data. You’ll have plenty of opportunit

Career
Sweden, and the Gothenburg region, in particular, has cutting-edge research in the characterization, design, and development of new materials. In industry and academia, scientists and engineers in materials science are active in fields ranging from fundamental materials development to the application of materials technology in products and processes. Thus, the job market in Sweden has a continuous need for materials engineers with a sound chemistry background within the Swedish industry, such as automotive, rolling bearings, bioimplants, polymers, surface treatment, paint, packaging materials, pharmaceuticals, nuclear materials as well as hygiene and healthcare products.
Chalmers has connected academic research in all these fields, often together with start-up companies. In addition, sustainable engineering opens up more opportunities such as catalysis, recycling, biodegradable materials, tailored nanomaterials, and corrosion-resistant alloys which can lead you to a career at Chalmers in Sweden or anywhere in the world. Around 30% of the graduated students from Materials chemistry move on to Ph.D. studies, in most cases at Chalmers but also e
