Double Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering
Double Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering (MIQ) and Environmental Engineering (MIAMB)
A curricular itinerary is proposed to jointly study the Master's Degrees in Chemical Engineering (MIQ) and in Environmental Engineering (MIAMB) , thanks to the transversality of the contents in both degrees.
The growing importance of the environmental sector and the increasing training needs detected in professionals, even those trained at the highest level, justify the existence of this master's degree. Training in Environmental Engineering, even though it is contemplated in the degrees of Engineering and Environmental Sciences, is deficient since there is, in general, no specific orientation to the resolution of environmental problems (industry), nor are specific technologies developed for measurement, evaluation and elimination of environmental pollution. The Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Seville is heir to the extinct Official Master's Degree in Chemical and Environmental Technology, the Master's Degree in Comprehensive Environmental Management and the postgraduate course in Environmental Engineering whose management was entrusted to the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering. (DIQA) from 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 degree has adapted its study plan to include current subjects 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 provide graduates with the skills to join the different departments of private companies, including R&D, public administration, universities or public research centers. The proposed program in its research aspect enables access to doctoral programs with the objective of obtaining the doctoral degree, specifically directly to the doctoral program in Energy, Chemical and Environmental Engineering of the University of Seville (MIAMB), on the basis of the complementarity between both degrees.
The Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering trains you to apply scientific-technical knowledge in research, development, innovation and management in multidisciplinary environments, to generate and transfer technical knowledge and to state, design, develop, manage and direct complex projects.
The master's objective is to guarantee the acquisition of the necessary skills to practice the profession of Chemical Engineer, expanding the knowledge acquired in the Degree in Chemical Engineering in two different and fundamental areas for your future professional career.
On the one hand, in specific disciplines of Chemical and Environmental Process Engineering, to develop design, research, innovation and technical management tasks in all areas related to the chemical industry. Secondly, in business direction and management, which provides training for human resources management, industrial organization and entrepreneurship. The master's degree also allows access to doctoral studies for those who are interested in starting a research career. To acquire knowledge, both theoretical and practical, 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 seal of international quality in engineering EUR-ACE in each of the master's degrees that comprise it, which certifies that it excellently meets the professional demands of engineering.
