Advanced Chemical Engineering

This forward-thinking programme is designed to equip engineers with the knowledge and skills to address contemporary challenges in the chemical engineering industry. The course material is rooted in traditional chemical engineering concepts, while also placing a strong emphasis on innovative and sustainable solutions.

By the end of this programme, students will be at the forefront of our present critical engineering challenges: how do we harness existing industries, or create new industries, to meet societal needs for energy and chemicals?

Programme highlights:

- We prioritise applied, real-world coursework and multi-mode assessment over traditional exams.

- The course is shaped by leading experts who provide valuable insights into how the Chemical Engineering industry can improve its practices.

- Become proficient in key software tools for complex computational activities (such as programming, process simulation and detailed design).

Enhance your expertise in chemical and process engineering to become a key problem-solver, equipped to tackle current and future challenges in engineering industries.

Our curriculum emphasises the importance of thinking 'outside the box,' integrating business, regulatory, and societal perspectives into your engineering education. By engaging with real-world, current engineering problems, you'll learn to incorporate new perspectives and develop creative solutions.

You will undertake compulsory modules that cover essential chemical engineering principles and practices, as well as the design of safe, sustainable and profitable processes. You'll also choose from a variety of elective modules, to tailor your studies to your career aspirations and interests.

You'll complete a large-scale individual research project, embedded within one of our renowned research centres, allowing you to approach problems from an interdisciplinary perspective, while maintaining a strong chemical engineering focus.
