The 180 credit weight programme is made up of 90 credits from taught modules and a 90 credit Chemical Engineering project.
The timing of MSc modules has been organised such that all modules can be completed within one academic year. Failure of a module will result in the student not being able to graduate within one academic year.
Compulsory modules
* Applied Heterogeneous Catalysis
* Applied Engineering Practice
* Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
* MSc Project
Optional modules
Candidates must take 3 optional modules, selected from the following list. All these modules are offered by the Department of Chemical Engineering and have a credit weight of 15.
* Computer Methods for Water Pollution Monitoring
* Filtration
* Chemical Product Design
* Mixing of Fluids and Particles
* Separations and Downstream Processing
* Colloid Engineering and Nano-science
* Advanced Computational Methods for Modelling and Analysis of Chemical Engineering Systems
* Drug Delivery and Targeting
Project
Candidates must obtain credit in a project supervised in the Chemical Engineering Department or jointly between the Department and a supervisor at the candidate's workplace. The project continues throughout the year.
Staff in the Department, who act as supervisors, have a wide-range of professional interests and expertise. Some particularly relevant research areas in the department are:
* Biological Engineering
* Catalysis
* Chemical Product Design
* Colloid Engineering
* Environmental Process Engineering
* Food Engineering and Biotechnology
* Medical/Healthcare Engineering
* Particle Technology
* Pharmaceutical Systems Engineering
* Reaction Engineering
* Separation Processes
* Solid Fluid Systems
* Transfer Processes
Typical projects underway or completed recently are:
* Affinity separation of metals, pesticides and organics from drinking water
* Biodiesel processing
* Catalytic Distillation
* Computer modelling of soft solids processing
* Critical flux filtration
* Design of bioreactors
* Finite element simulation of a narrow branching tidal water system
* Haemosorbent development
* Liquid mixing in pharmaceutical reactors
Award of Distinction
Students may be awarded a Masters degree with Distinction if they obtain 180 credits and have an overall weighted average mark of not less than 70%.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
More informationRequirements
All applicants for admission to postgraduate taught programmes must have an acceptable qualification in English language before they can be admitted to any taught postgraduate programme.
An honours degree of similar standing to one from the UK in Engineering or physical sciences is required. However, other academic or professional qualifications, possibly supplemented by appropriate industrial experience may suffice.
You should include all possible information about your qualifications when you apply to us. Transcripts are particularly useful to us.
Acceptable English language qualification * GCSE English Language - Grade C or above
* IELTS band 6.5 with not less than 6.0 in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking
* TOEFL (including the Tests in Written and Spoken Practice) minimum score of 600 (paper-based test) or 100 (Internet-based test) with specific requirements for sub tests
