Course Overview

Informed by the needs of a decarbonised industry, this course provides the opportunity to develop the strong communication and leadership skills in sustainability and net-zero that employers are looking for today. It aims to provide an extension beyond undergraduate study for those embarking on, changing, or advancing their chosen career in the chemical industry.

The programme has been developed around the key strands of advanced process simulation, renewable and green energy, biofuels, heat integration, and carbon capture. You will have the chance to develop the necessary knowledge and skills required to work on the engineering challenges of the 21st century through project-based learning.

You can become part of a thriving hub of research and development close to the Humber Industrial Cluster, the nation's largest of its type, which includes CATCH's National Centre for Process Manufacturing (NCPM). You can learn from our experienced and talented academic team, have the chance to work on industrially relevant projects, and gain exposure to real-world training facilities that aim to develop technical skills in the control room, process maintenance, and field operations in a fully emulated process operations environment.

How You Are Assessed

The assessment strategy adopted within the MSc Chemical Engineering with Sustainability reflects the programme's emphasis on applied practice and the development of a range of skills. These will tackle both traditional chemical engineering and those that will enable you solve problems related to a decarbonised chemical industry, net-zero emissions, and sustainability.

Assessment methods will vary from module to module, and this will include both coursework and examinations. Students will also be expected to complete a major research project following the taught modules.
