Mestrado em Engenharia Química

Our Master’s program offers a streamlined educational experience that bolsters knowledge and professional skills in chemical engineering. The program covers basic subjects important to all chemical engineers, including thermodynamics, transport phenomena, kinetics, and applied mathematics, along with coursework tailored to student interest.

All students in the thesis-based track (Plan I) conduct innovative, original research in faculty-run labs. All students in the non-thesis track (Plan II) complete specialized coursework in chemical engineering and a capstone experience.

The Master's degree typically requires one to two years to complete, depending on the intensity of study and whether a thesis is produced.

We welcome students with undergraduate degrees in chemical engineering, as well as in other related STEM fields such as chemistry, biology, and materials science and engineering. Students entering with a degree other than a BS ChemE, however, may require additional coursework, thereby adding time to the degree.

The University of Alabama offers both research-based and professionally focused programs, at the master’s and doctoral level. Our campus is not only beautiful (among the 50 Most Amazing Campuses, bestcolleges.org 2017), but has facilities that are second to none—laboratories, collaborative study space, and high-tech classrooms and workspaces.
