Location of University of Birmingham
The Department of Chemical Engineering is one of the three largest centres for postgraduate education of chemical engineers in the UK, with a postgraduate population of about 100, half from overseas. We have pioneered the development of postgraduate programmes and research in rapidly expanding new areas, such as pharmaceuticals and bioproducts, food processing, and speciality chemical product manufacture.
Our research activity is collaborative, with new projects frequently bringing together academics with different interests - often from outside the School of Engineering - in order to construct the most appropriate team. For example, much work takes place jointly with the Positron Imaging Centre in the School of Physics and Astronomy. There are also active joint projects with Biosciences, Medicine, Chemistry, Materials Science, and Mathematics at Birmingham, and numerous universities elsewhere in the UK and overseas.
Selected modules from our taught programmes can be combined with an extended research project to obtain an MRes degree. This is a strongly research-orientated qualification and provides excellent training for further research in industry or academia.
Contents
Taught modules support the development of both research and transferable skills. All students take a set of compulsory modules and a selection of optional modules of their choice (subject to timetabling) in addition to their research project.
Compulsory modules
* Process engineering fundamentals *
* Measurement techniques
* Effective project management
* Presentation and communication skills/team skills development
*This module is compulsory for students without an appropriate engineering degree. Students with relevant prior experience will take an additional 10 credits from the optional modules.
Optional modules
* Bioscience for graduates from other scientific disciplines
* Cell factories
* Bioseparations
* Bioreaction engineering
* Molecular delivery
* Characterisation of structured fluids
* Interfacial physics and chemistry
* Mathematical modelling of time-dependent processes
* From bench to market: the development of pharmaceutical drug products
* Design and development of drug delivery systems
* Powder technology
* Developing food structure through thermal processing
* Food flavour
* Modern genome based bioscience
* Nanochemistry
* Materials characterisation
