MSc
MSc Chemical Engineering
Overview
This course has been designed to assist holders of relevant degrees in science and engineering to upgrade their academic qualifications and enhance their professional standing. The syllabus covers, among other topics:
-
process synthesis & design
-
advanced transport processes
-
advanced process control
-
advanced reaction engineering
Course aims
-
To provide advanced studies in Chemical Engineering which reflect the broad areas of research expertise and scholarship in the School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering. In particular, applications in advanced chemical engineering, computer-aided process engineering and environmental engineering are offered.
-
To meet the requirements of the UK-SPEC of the Institution of Chemical Engineers for those students who already hold a BEng from an accredited University and wish to proceed to chartered status.
Description
The MSc course is studied over 12 months (three semesters). Students who do not meet the progression requirements after two semesters of the MSc programme may be awarded the Postgraduate Diploma. For the MSc students must complete a 60 credit Individual Research Project which is undertaken over the summer.
The course structure features a list of 'prescribed' modules from which all students must select 70 credits (40 in Autumn, 30 in Spring). A minimum of 30 credits must be at Level 4 or D to satisfy University Regulations on Masters degrees.
All students must complete the two semester Research Planning and Design module (20 credits). Students must also complete the 30 credit MSc Group Development Project module. A minority of students who arrive with limited design experience may opt, in consultation with the Course Director, to undertake a 30-credit 'MSc Group Design Project' in place of the 'Development Project'.
