Double Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering
Double Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering (MIQ) and Environmental Engineering (MIAMB)
Presentation and guide of the degree on the website of the University of Seville.
A curriculum is proposed for jointly pursuing the Master's Degrees in Chemical Engineering (MIQ) and Environmental Engineering (MIAMB) , thanks to the cross-cutting nature of the content in both programs.
The growing importance of the environmental sector and the increasing training needs identified among professionals, even those trained at the highest level, justify the existence of this master's program. While training in Environmental Engineering is included in undergraduate Engineering and Environmental Science degrees, it is inadequate because, in general, there is no specific focus on solving environmental problems (industry), nor are the specific technologies for measuring, evaluating, and eliminating environmental pollution developed. The Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering at the University of Seville is the successor to the now-defunct Official Master's Degree in Chemical and Environmental Technology, the Master's Degree in Integrated Environmental Management, and the postgraduate course in Environmental Engineering, the management of which was entrusted to the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering (DIQA) at the University of Seville in 1978 by the School of Industrial Organization (EOI) of the former Ministry of Industry and Energy. In its current version (2018), the master's program has adapted its curriculum to include current topics in the field of Environmental Engineering (Biorefineries, Advanced Biotechnology, Circular Economy and Sustainability, Energy and Environment, Soil Remediation, etc.).
This master's degree aims to equip graduates with the skills to join various departments in private companies, including R&D, as well as the public administration, universities, and public research centers. The research component of the program qualifies students to access doctoral programs leading to a PhD, specifically the PhD program in Energy, Chemical, and Environmental Engineering at the University of Seville (MIAMB), based on the complementarity between the two degrees.
The Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering equips students to apply scientific and technical knowledge in research, development, innovation, and management within multidisciplinary environments. It enables them to generate and transfer technical knowledge and to formulate, design, develop, manage, and lead complex projects.
The Master's program aims to ensure the acquisition of the necessary skills to practice as a Chemical Engineer, expanding upon the knowledge gained in the Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering in two distinct and fundamental areas for their future careers. Firstly, it focuses on specific disciplines within Chemical and Environmental Process Engineering, enabling them to perform design, research, innovation, and technical management tasks in all areas related to the chemical industry. Secondly, it covers business management, equipping students for human resource management, industrial organization, and entrepreneurship. Furthermore, the Master's degree provides access to doctoral studies for those interested in pursuing a research career.
For the acquisition of both theoretical and practical knowledge, the Higher Technical School of Engineering has a large team of professors with extensive teaching and research experience, as well as modern facilities and laboratories equipped with all the necessary means for learning.
The double master's degree has the European international quality seal in engineering EUR-ACE in each of the master's degrees that make it up, which certifies that it meets the professional requirements of engineering in an excellent way.
