Welcome to the German Website of the EFCE-Working Party on Education

This website is edited by the ProcessNet Working Party on Education in Process Engineering. ProcessNet is an initiative of DECHEMA and VDI-GVC.

On our website information and links related to education and to life long learning in Process, Chemical and Biochemical Engineering in Germany are provided.

Process, Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (Verfahrenstechnik / Chemieingenieurwesen / Bioingenieurwesen) can be studied at Universities (of Technology) (more orientated to science and research) and at Universities of Applied Science (Fachhochschulen; more orientated to applications) as well as at some so called Universities of Cooperative Education (Berufsakademien), which are offering a special type of vocational education.
Today mostly offered are two cycle programmes leading to a Bachelor's and a Master's degree according to the Bologna Process . The former programmes leading to a tradional "Diplom" degree will disappear within the next years.
Nowadays first cycle programmes leading to a Bachelor's degree and second cycle programmes leading to a Master's degree according to the Bologna Process are offered . The previous long cycle programmes leading to a tradional "Diplom" degree will disappear within the next years.

Education of Process and Chemical Engineers is embedded in the Educational system of Germany , which is characterized by a great variety.

Life long learning is an important factor to maintain and develop professional qualification. Several institutions are offering courses for continuing education in Process, Chemical and Biochemical Engineering.

More information related to engineering education can be obtained from the following organisations .
