Modules

This master’s level postgraduate course covers the theory and practical application of advanced topics in chemical engineering with a focus on application to research and industry. Core modules develop key chemical engineering skills for those who are new to the subject and further enhance the understanding of chemical engineering graduates. Along with in-class and online teaching, in the form of lectures and tutorials, we provide a broad, engaging, and supportive taught experience, including: Laboratory practice Computer simulation Practical skills – presenting, report writing, teamwork, organisation and research Wide-ranging support services Talks and workshops from the industry Site visits and field trips The CEE Green Energy Society Optional industrial placement During the course, you are taught practical skills associated with computer simulation, research and design and gain advanced learning in materials and reaction engineering, process management, safety health and environment, and multiphase fluid flow. You also carry out an individual dissertation research project over the year, which is applied to an aspect of research and/or design and supervised by academic staff in the division. The total credit value of the course is 180 credits, made up of 6 standard 20-credit modules and one dissertation project worth 60 credits. You need to complete 120 credits to progress onto the dissertation project. Part-time (PT) students follow a similar programme spread over 2 years.
