A flexible, industry-focused programme, delivering advanced skills in chemical and process engineering for multiple industry sectors, including oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, food and environmental science. Chemical engineering involves changing the chemical state of substances to create many of the products we use today in everyday life, including, for example, petroleum, plastics, and synthetic fibres. Chemical engineers, therefore, work in a wide variety of industry sectors, including oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, renewable energy and environmental protection. The MSc in Advanced Chemical Engineering is designed for chemical engineering graduates, or graduates of related disciplines, who are looking to advance their specialist knowledge and skills and gain a higher qualification in the field of chemical and process engineering. You will study the essential areas of chemical engineering in detail, including topics such as separation and product purification and air and water pollution control. You will also learn about catalyst and reactor design, as well as process design, layout and materials. In addition, you will choose further optional courses based on your career interests in subjects such as clean energy, process safety, management and human factors engineering. The programme also includes an individual research project, which will further hone your independent research skills and develop your expertise in a topic related to your career aspirations. The School of Engineering is known as a centre of excellence in chemical engineering research, in areas including oil and gas, carbon capture, biofuel, energy storage and pharmaceutical manufacturing. We also have excellent industry links, with national and international chemical, pharmaceuticals and oil & gas companies such as Scottish Water, GSK, Halliburton and Shell giving you the opportunity to benefit from industry-informed teaching and research. This programme is accredited by IChemE, providing graduates with a pathway to qualification as a Chartered Chemical Engineer (MIChemE) and registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng) or Incorporated Engineer (IEng) with the Engineering Council.
2:2 UK Honours degree, or an Honours degree from a non-UK institution which is judged by the University to be of equivalent worth in Chemical Engineering or other related engineering discipline.
