This modular programme is primarily aimed at engineering students from the UK and overseas who wish to develop careers in the oil, gas, process and chemical industries. The programme meets accreditation requirements for the Institute of Chemical Engineers which would allow graduates to apply for chartered engineer status.
It focuses on Advanced Chemical Engineering with opportunities to develop core and multidisciplinary skills that will enable graduates to meet the challenges of the future.
It uses a strong project-based approach and is relevant to the recruitment needs of a broad range of employers throughout the chemical and process sectors.
Curriculum
The MSc requires eight taught modules, a Group Design Project and an individual Research Project working with our highly talented team of leading researchers on chemical engineering issues of the future. The Diploma requires eight modules and a Group Project, and the Certificate requires six modules.
The key areas of the programme content are as follows:
- Chemical & Process Engineering
