Programme specification:
At the end of the programme students should be able to:
- demonstrate in-depth, advanced and specialist knowledge and mastery of techniques relevant to the areas of chemical engineering;
- demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of, and an ability to critically analyse, concepts, information and techniques at the forefront of chemical engineering;
- exhibit mastery in the exercise of generic and subject-specific intellectual abilities;
- demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of techniques applicable to their own research;
- take a proactive and self-reflective role in working and develop a professional relationships with others;
- formulate ideas and hypotheses and to develop, implement and execute plans to evaluate these;
- evaluate current issues, research and advanced scholarship in chemical engineering.
The programme is designed to equip graduates with a range of advanced chemical engineering skills, thereby enhancing their career prospects in the chemical and related industries.
The MSc programme consists of a number of compulsory and optional modules as well as a major research project (60 credits), totalling 180 credits. The taught modules cover a range of advanced and specialist topics in chemical engineering.
There is also the opportunity to satisfy particular interests through the research project topic and choice of optional modules. The project accounts for one-third of the credits for the MSc programme and enables students to gain experience of planning, executing and reporting on work of the type they will undertake in an industrial or academic environment.
