Foreword

Under the scope of the Bologna Process, in 2006/2007 FEUP starts to offer a Masters Degree in Chemical Engineering. This academic degree will provide students with "Second Cycle" professional competences in the area of chemical engineering and similar. This is assured mainly by the Department of Chemical Engineering and corresponds essentially to a reformulation of its almost centennial "Licenciatura" in Chemical Engineering, assuring new valences and work methods, in total agreement with the evolution of teaching and learning that we observe today in the best European schools.
