COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc Advanced Chemical Engineering course structure combines mandatory and optional units to provide both a solid foundation and flexibility for students to tailor their studies to their career interests. The mandatory modules include the MSc Dissertation, which allows students to conduct an in-depth research project applying advanced chemical engineering principles, and Research Techniques & Methods (Proposal), which develops essential research planning, data analysis, and presentation skills. Optional modules enable students to specialise in key industrial and research areas. Oil and Gas Processing and Nuclear Fuel Cycle cover vital aspects of the energy sector, while Chemical Engineering Molecular Simulation focuses on computational techniques to model molecular-level processes. Utility System Design and Advanced Separation Processes provide insight into process optimisation and the design of efficient engineering systems. Science of Formulation and Chemical Product Design explore innovation in product development and process chemistry. Meanwhile, Waste Management and Treatment introduces sustainable methods for handling industrial waste, aligning with global environmental goals. Together, these units equip students with advanced technical, analytical, and research capabilities, preparing them for roles in diverse sectors such as energy, manufacturing, and environmental engineering, or for progression to PhD-level research in cutting-edge chemical engineering topics.
