Over two years at NTNU’s Gløshaugen campus, you will join a dynamic academic environment and collaborate with leading researchers and international peers. The Master’s programme allows you to specialise in either materials science or chemical engineering, covering topics ranging from energy technology to reactor design. You will gain practical experience through laboratory work, projects and a dissertation focused on real-world research challenges. The programme also emphasises sustainability, digital tools and interdisciplinary innovation across industries such as energy, biotechnology and manufacturing.

Core Learning Outcome

  • Advanced Technical Expertise

    You will gain in-depth knowledge of materials science and/or chemical engineering, depending on your chosen specialisation, and understand how these fields contribute to sustainable technological development.

  • Problem-Solving and Research Skills

    You will learn to analyse complex engineering problems, apply experimental and computational methods, and conduct independent research using modern tools and techniques.

  • Cross-Disciplinary Insight

    You will explore the intersection between materials science and chemical engineering, and understand how collaboration across disciplines drives innovation.
     
  • Sustainability and Ethics

    You will be trained to assess the environmental, societal and economic impacts of engineering solutions, and apply ethical standards in your work.

  • Communication and Collaboration

    You will work on developing the ability to communicate technical knowledge to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, and work effectively in diverse teams.
