The MSc in Chemical Engineering is a 12-month course consisting of 3 semesters of lectures, project work, continuous assessment and examinations, followed by an individual research project, leading to the submission of an MSc dissertation. The course has been designed to assist holders of relevant degrees in science and engineering to upgrade their academic qualifications and enhance their professional standing. The syllabus covers, amongst other topics, Process Synthesis and Design, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Advanced Process Control.
The programme is operated on a modular basis and consists of two semesters during which you will follow a series of taught modules (60 credits per semester) followed by a research project (60 credits) undertaken during the summer period. You will be taught using the latest advances in teaching methods and electronic resources. You will carry out an individual research project from June to September.
If you have taken any of the modules as part of a BEng/MEng degree course at The University of Nottingham, you are not allowed to take modules for a second time.
Students completing this programme have found jobs in a range of industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, food, environmental protection, nanotechnology, consultancy and management. The programme also aims to provide a strong foundation for further study to PhD level and pursuit of a career in research.
