The detailed programme of each semester is given in the following tables.
The students accepted to the HySET Program are equally distributed between Politecnico di Torino and Politecnico di Milano as their entry points for the first year of the master.
POLITO and POLIMI will deliver parallel tracks on FUNDAMENTALS.
The learning material of both parallel tracks, in POLITO and POLIMI, will be available to all the Y1 students (independently if they are enrolled in POLITO or POLIMI) to enlarge and complement their Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)

YEAR 2 Semester 3 – TU/e Specialization Tracks on Chemical Process Technology
YEAR 2 Semester 4 – Internship and Master Thesis
The last part of the curriculum during the second year of study is dedicated to a Master’s thesis combined with the Internship (30 ECTS). A thesis topic can be chosen at any partner institution of the consortium. The Master’s thesis is typically embedded into larger research projects conducted by research centres, or together with Industrial Associated Partner or in Supporting Partner. The topic and location of the Master's thesis is determined at the end of the first year of studies. During Semester 4, students will be able to:
