Course Description
Chemical Process Technology is a broad area that involves a lot more than chemistry. It brings together expertise in chemistry, physics, mathematics and chemical engineering, and competences in project management, knowledge of economic and environmental aspects of process and product development. This new and exciting programme aims to provide those interested in pursuing successful careers in the chemical and process industries with the essential knowledge and skills. In addition, the course also enhances the individual's portfolio of skills by allowing specialization in management, polymer engineering, bio energy and bio products, or material and sports science. This MSc programme takes 12 months of full-time study for completion. The course is organised on a modular basis with 180 credits to qualify for an MSc degree. The taught component is made up of six core modules and four electives spread over two terms. All students will undertake a research project in the second half of the course. In addition to studying core Chemical Engineering and Process Design modules, students can choose to specialise in one of the four available options on the course. These options are: Chemical Process Technology with Management, acquiring skills and training in chemical process management; with Polymer processing, acquiring skills and training in polymer processing and engineering; with Bio energy and Bio products, acquiring skills and training on a range of bio fuels and biomaterial processing; and with Material and Sports Science, acquiring skills and training in material processing and design for sports equipment.
