Advanced Chemical Engineering MSc

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.

Graduates from our MSc in Advanced Chemical Engineering will be well-equipped to pursue roles in various areas, including:

• Process engineering industries, such as materials, toiletries and food production
• Safety engineering
• Engineering project management
• Renewable energy and sustainable materials

Our strong links with employers, including connections to Waternet, the IChemE and safety engineering firms, provide excellent opportunities for networking and gaining industry knowledge.

We have an active Industrial Advisory Board, who provide real-world case studies, deliver guest lectures and engage with student research projects. We run an Industrial Liaison Forum twice per year, where we invite our collaborators, Advisory Board and alumni to campus to engage with current students.
