Sustainable Chemical Engineering, MSc; PGDip – (M.Sc.)

MSc students take compulsory modules (to a value of 110 credits) and select a further 10-credit module (either chemical engineering or energy management, depending on the subject of their first degree). They then undertake a four-month research project leading to a dissertation (60 credits). Diploma students take modules to the value of 120 credits.

Modules typically include: renewable energy – hydrogen and fuel cell technology; sustainable industry; fuel cell systems; process intensification; sustainable design and manufacture; modelling for materials sustainability and processing; nanomaterials; clean technology applications; sustainable processing energy and materials technology; renewable energy – biomass and waste technology; and methodology and planning research. Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, student-directed learning, laboratory work, extended course work and tutorials. Assessment is by written examination, course work and, for MSc students, a dissertation based on a project conducted in association with industry or one of the research groups.
