Location of University of Cambridge
The discipline and practice of Chemical Engineering is currently undergoing profound changes, which will have an important impact on the need for advanced training. The sphere of operation and employment of chemical engineers is likely to lie increasingly well outside the conventional core of the discipline (for example in life sciences, chemistry, the environment, new materials and microelectronics), and therefore the challenge is to ensure that the core curriculum contains the essential knowledge and advanced skills required to undertake work at these interfaces.
Due to the increasingly dynamic nature of global industries and rapid advances in scientific research, graduates will need to have advanced and durable skills which will enable them to be effective in companies where speed of change and product scope can occur rapidly.
The one-year full-time Master's (M.Phil.) Programme in Advanced Chemical Engineering (ACE) starts in the Autumn of each year. The course is unique because:
* candidates receive an education both in advanced aspects of Chemical Engineering and in essential areas of business administration, such as technology policy, company formation, finance and management, global economics and sustainable development;
* there is a consultancy project for a UK client organisation, designed to develop professional problem-solving skills; and
* it offers conventional research experience at a leading academic institution.
Contents
The M.Phil. Programme is a full-time course occupying one year and is structured as follows:
* Michaelmas Term Students come into College residence in Cambridge in late September/early October, and take three core Chemical Engineering modules and start one core Management of Technology and Innovation (MoTI) module (run by the Judge Business School). In addition, students are expected to take two elective modules taught by other departments within the University.
* Lent Term Students take one core Chemical Engineering module and three elective modules, and complete the MoTI module by undertaking a consultancy project for a UK client organisation.
* 3. March - August During this period students undertake a full-time research project within the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, the results of which are submitted as a dissertation. The research projects are supervised by University staff members, and students will be required to plan and execute their own work. The projects may include extensive industrial collaboration.

Requirements
Because of the advanced technical coursework to be undertaken, the intake will be made up primarily of students with an honours degree in Chemical Engineering (and preferably in possession of a good first from a reputable department).
The extent of the course will require students who are very highly motivated, innovative, able to work efficiently both on their own and in a team and who have high levels of perseverance.
Candidates who do not possess these qualities will struggle with the intensive coursework. Applicants will need to demonstrate to the assessment panel a high level of commitment and diligence, irrespective of formal academic qualification, when they apply.
