About this minor

The Renewable Energy, Materials and Processing programme is open to students from Hanze UAS and students from abroad.

The programme covers various aspects of renewable energy. The main focus is on biogas production, and together with your fellow students you will work on projects in this field. In the previous years, students worked on, for example, evaluating and optimising a Swill (restaurant waste) digester or on a biogas upgrading process based on a gas absorption in pressurised water. These projects are set up in cooperation with leading institutes and companies, which will give you a good insight into the work field. The project groups will be of mixed internationalities and backgrounds, mimicing the situation of a Engineering company working for a client.

During two theoretical modules focussed on Chemical Engineering you will learn competencies like development and consultancy that are directly applicable to your project. An overview of the different modules can be found below.

We offer you

  • A semester chemical engineering, fully taught in English by experienced lecturers in chemical engineering and bioprocess technology
  • Theoretical courses and project work in the field of renewable energy, materials and processing
  • Projects carried out in cooperation with companies and institutes that are leading in the field
  • Participation in an international atmosphere, consisting of students from different countries and cultural backgrounds, including The Netherlands
