Taught Masters Courses
We offer a wide variety of MSc courses from modern chemical engineering/analytical science at the cutting edge of research through to everyday industrial design and practice. Graduates from our courses apply their skills across a wide range of industries, including the energy sector, fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals and financial services. Indeed, since we offer part-time and distance learning study options in addition to full-time courses, a number of our MSc students are already employed in the chemical and process industry, and undertake our MSc courses to enhance their skills. We also teach specialist MSc courses where students can learn to apply chemical engineering principles to biotechnology/bioprocessing and environmental/sustainable engineering. Our MSc courses are not only for chemical engineers. We welcome applicants from a variety of disciplines including other branches of engineering, or chemistry, physics, mathematics. Applicants who are not chemical engineers can benefit through gaining a qualification recognised and accredited by the chemical engineering professional body (IChemE). Use the guide below, to help you choose an MSc course that is right for you.
Chemical Engineering
If you have a chemical engineering degree and want to speciailize in a particular area of chemical engineering or take advanced courses highlighting recent developments with a view to following a career path in research or in industry then the Advanced Chemical Engineering MSc is the ideal option.
If you are a non-chemical engineer with a first degree in a related cognate discipline (e.g. other branches of engineering, or chemistry, physics, mathematics) and want to gain a chemical engineering qualification accredited by the chemical engineering professional body then the Chemical Engineering with Design MSc is the perfect choice for you.
Instrumentation and Analytical Science
If you have a first degree in chemistry, physics, or an engineering discipline and are interested in following a career path involving analytical chemistry, measurement science or forensics, then you should consider the course below.
Environmental and Sustainable Engineering
If you are a chemical engineer currently working in the process industries you will want to ensure that your operations continue to meet future health, safety and environmental regulation. Alternatively, you may want to apply your chemical engineering knowledge to develop environmentally sound technologies which will be sustainable into the future, or you may wish to learn how to utilise renewable biological materials as sustainable alternative raw ingredients for chemical processes. If one of these objectives applies to you, then the suite of Environmental MSc courses will meet your needs.
- Environmental Biotechnology MSc
- Environmental Management & Technology MSc
- Environmental Management MSc
- Environmental Technology MSc
Biotechnology and Bio-Processing
If you are a chemical or process engineer and want to apply your engineering knowledge to problems in biotechnology and bioprocessing, then the following course will be suitable for you.
Process Integration and Process Design
If you are a graduate in chemical or process engineering (or related areas such as Industrial Chemistry, Chemistry, or Mechanical Engineering) and you wish to learn state-of-the-art techniques in chemical process design which are employed in major international companies related to the refinery, petrochemical, fine and speciality chemical, and chemical processing industry, then choose from one of the courses below.
- Advanced Chemical Process Design MSc
- Advanced Process Design for Energy and the Environment MSc
- Refinery Design & Operation MSc
