Overview

This course aims to produce graduates trained in the core discipline of chemical engineering including energy, materials and reaction engineering, and project management.

It will give you the relevant understanding, skills and knowledge required to operate effectively in the chemical engineering sector, making you capable in the context of modern industrial practice and sustainable development.

You'll develop your knowledge of mathematics, applied sciences, engineering methods and safety, in support of the central themes of the course. You'll also expand on your intellectual and reasoning powers, your ability to perceive the broader perspective, and your problem-solving skills.

The course has been developed in response to relevant industry needs and it reflects our strength in research and teaching within this area. The MSc programme benefits from the MEng material for the Chemical Engineering programme to enhance the student experience through greater class sizes and shared learning experiences.

Employability

The principles and skills conveyed by the course will help students develop critical thinking and independent inquiry aptitudes which will enable them to be independent and competent practitioners in their professional life.

The contents of the module will help graduates find employment in the chemical engineering industry, oil and gas industry, energy sector, engineering design, renewable energy and pharmaceuticals industry.

Teaching and learning

The teaching team in the Division of Chemical and Energy Engineering are experienced and enthusiastic about their teaching and research. We are a multidisciplinary team with expertise in chemical engineering, energy engineering, and materials engineering, some with industrial experience.

All modules are taught through a combination of three or more of lectures, tutorials, computer workshop, laboratory practical, seminars and group work which deliver the intended knowledge and understanding, and intellectual/practical/transferrable skills.
