Cosmetics and detergents technology
The scientific and technological content of the Cosmetics and detergents technology program classifies it as an engineering application of colloid chemistry. The program focuses on the development and production of cosmetic products, detergents and cleaning agents on an industrial scale, as well as on quality assurance and performance testing for these products.
The degree program teaches knowledge and skills that allow students to efficiently handle practical tasks in the cosmetics and detergents industry. To do so, students gain detailed expertise on a broad range of products and on a large number of new raw materials and technologies. Students can then build on this knowledge and use their creative skills to complete practical projects during the degree program itself. The chemical structure and associated technical properties of materials used in different recipes play a key role in all of these different sub-areas. Finally, the program also includes learning about process engineering procedures, creating an overall package of content students can use to develop and sell products in line with market demands in their later careers.
