Preferred student profile
Master students within Chemical Engineering with a study background that match the research areas.
Research topics:
- Chemical and biochemical Process Synthesis and Intensification
- Electrochemical energy conversion & Functional materials
- Industrial Crystallization
- Materials Chemistry
- Membrane Separation Technology
Description
The first semester is preparatory and will be a combination of courses and a pre-project to prepare the applicant ready to carry on with a full research project in the second semester. The specific projects will be established in collaboration with your local supervisor at the department.
One or two semesters:
The recommendation on whether the applicant should spend one or two semesters at SDU will be evaluated based on qualification of the applicant in match with the research areas at the local institution, tough the qualified applicants are always welcome to take larger or the full package.
Those have passed the pre-screening step will be connected to a local supervisor, who will require additional information such as academic curriculum vitae, recommendation letter, motivation letter, and a list of publication if relevant for academic evaluation. The evaluation process can be assisted by Skype interview. The maximum number of successful candidate for the program is limited to 5 per semester.
Depending on the overall evaluation, the applicant will be recommended to carry out between 30-60 ECTS study at SDU, as shown in the table below:
| Qualification Match | Recommendation For ECTS point |
Main Project (MP) Pre-Project (PP) or Course (C) | Time frame full time study week* |
Starting time |
| Very well | Min. 30 | MP (30 ECTS) | Min. 20 | Flexible |
| Well | Min. 40 | PP+MP(10+30 ECTS) | Min. 27 | Flexible |
| Fair | 60 | C+PP+MP (20+10+30 ECTS) | 40 | Spring or Autumn semester |
Time frame:
For well and very well qualified applicants, you are not required to take any course, and therefore, are not limited by any time frame of the semesters, though you are eligible to take courses and pre-project equivalent to full time study.
For applicants of fair match and those who wish to experience courses equivalent to full time study, you are recommended to take a series of courses equivalent to 20 ECTS, including both compulsory and elective courses. The local supervisors will name the compulsory courses depending on research areas. The candidate may start from either spring or autumn semester (1 Feb. or 1 Sep.)
If the applicant is required to participant courses, the exact composition of the course will depend on the starting semester. A list of available courses at different starting semesters can be found at Course descriptions (course database).
The final composition of the course will be recommended by the local supervisors and should be approved by the local department.
