The Master’s degree (MSc) programme in Process Engineering at the HAW Hamburg provides participants with scientific and practical skills, which enable the students to conduct research and work in the field of research and development, maintenance and service, planning and design of plants, plant operation or management in the process-related industry or in academia. Graduates fulfil the formal and scientific requirements to start a PhD programme. The Master's programme covers mathematical, scientific and engineering topics of the various phases of the process plant life cycle with a strong emphasis on digitalisation/industry 4.0. The full-time study programme consists of three semesters (90 CPs). The first two semesters (60 CPs) encompass modules such as numerical mathematics, digital plant design, advanced instrumentation and automation, process optimisation and simulation, advanced thermodynamics and separation processes, advanced solids processing and reaction engineering, plant engineering, process and plant safety, multi-physics simulation, materials and corrosion, environmental technologies, bioenergy and plant operation. Non-technical skills focus on project management and asset management as well as project finance. Most lectures and seminars are complemented by associated practical courses with state-of-the-art software tools and experiments in our on-site laboratories. Students can deepen their competences in a scientific project in small groups. Enhanced soft skills are acquired in the seminars and during the lectures through intense discussions and small projects as well as presentations, posters and papers. The third semester is a research semester (30 CPs) with the completion of a Master's thesis. Students will participate in a research project conducted at the university or in the industry. This course is taught in person only. There isn't an option to study online.

Please be advised that it is unfortunately not easy to find accommodation in Hamburg; finding somewhere to live can take a while and best done once you have arrived in Hamburg. Try getting an AirBnB first and search after arrival to avoid online scams. Student halls of residences are organised by the "Studierendenwerk Hamburg". They offer affordable accommodation for students under the age of 30. Generally, students have their own room in a shared apartment with a communal bathroom and kitchen. The monthly rent for a room in a student hall of residence is usually between 350 and 450 EUR (including amenities). New students can apply three months before the start of their degree programme. Please be advised that they unfortunately have long waiting lists. Further information about accommodation can be found here: https://www.haw-hamburg.de/en/study/campus-life/accommodation/.
