The degree program in Process Engineering offered at OHM has a long tradition and has been rated at the top of all higher education rankings for many years. Around 200 students are currently enrolled in our programs. They work with seven professors and numerous external and adjunct instructors.
Our campus has ten state-of-the-art laboratories and computer rooms for research and lab work where you can gain direct and practical insights into process engineering. In addition, we are involved in numerous business cooperations and research projects that you may actively participate in.

Process Engineers work with products of daily life, such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, building materials, fuels, plastics etc. and the processes used to manufacture them. They know how to develop and use special processes to make new products out of solid, liquid and gaseous raw materials. For instance. they produce gasoline from crude oil or work on the process used to make sugar from beets or sugar cane. In addition to the various process steps involved in production, business aspects, optimization of quality and energy consumption as well as environmental protection and recycling play an essential role in their careers.

The practical focus of the degree programs OHM offers is particularly designed to meet these highly varied requirements. After completing program requirements, students are awarded the following degree:

Bachelor (B.Eng.) in Process Engineering

During a scheduled time to degree completion of seven semesters, you will learn the basics for your career. The fifth semester includes an industrial internship.
You will then choose a specialization in energy process engineering, biochemical engineering, plastics engineering or environmental engineering. (Folder PDF, 551 KB)

After finishing their bachelor's degree, students may choose to enroll in our master's degree program to obtain an even higher level of expertise. The following graduate program is available:

Master (M.Eng.) in Chemical and Process Engineering

Process Engineers can find jobs in almost all fields of manufacturing, research and development, government agencies and inspection institutions. The chemical industry, the food and building materials industry, machine building and plant engineering, biotechnology, energy technology and environmental protection all need process engineers. Industries active in renewable energy or in increasing the efficiency of resources offer numerous exciting tasks.
The job outlook for our highly qualified graduates is currently excellent, as are their prospective incomes.
