Ph.D. Program in Integrated Chemical Engineering (International)
Doctor of Philosophy Program in Integrated Chemical Engineering (International Program) is an engineering program that aims to produce doctorates who have skills and knowledge both in chemical engineering and integration with other fields such as energy engineering, food and pharmaceutical engineering, biological process engineering, safety and environmental engineering, etc., in order to create and develop research on the basis of morality, ethics, and international academic and professional standards. The curriculum focuses on the research collaboration with the private sectors in order to produce the research that is consistent with the actual industrial problems and able to initiate the industrial-based research and innovation in integrated chemical engineering. According to our strong collaborations with industrial, the students are able to gain real working experiences.
