About this course

Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering with Industrial Study, a chemical engineering degree centred on the design and optimization of industrial processes and sustainable technologies. Core topics include Systems Design, Data Analysis, and Research Methods. Students complete a year working in industry during the third year, along with a final-year research project. The first year covers the foundations through Reaction, Equilibria and Thermodynamics, Chemistry and Materials, Introduction to Transport Phenomena, and Process Design and Analysis. The second year progresses with Reactors, Catalysis and Thermodynamics, Sustainable Process Engineering, Mass, Heat and Momentum Transport, and Systems Design and Control. The third year consists entirely of the Chemical Engineering Industrial Study placement. The fourth year features compulsory work on the Design Project alongside advanced study in Advanced Reactors and Thermodynamics, Multiphase Systems, and Designing for Climate Change. The fifth year centers on the Research Project and Advanced Transport Processes, while options allow specialization in areas such as Advanced Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, Biopharmaceutical Bioprocessing, Industry 4.0 and Big Data, and Energy Systems Design and Policy.
