The MSc in Advanced Chemical Engineering is developed for undergraduate degree holders in chemical and related engineering with significant research element. The individual research project provides unique opportunities for the students to conduct in-depth research with flexibility of choice after the completion of taught courses.
The MSc project will concern original work investigating an agreed topic related to advanced chemical engineering under an academic supervisor and reporting the findings a dissertation as per the guidelines issued by the School of Engineering. The project can be conducted either on a project advertised by the academic staff member of the School or sourced from the industry to address a problem concerning an aspect of research and design problem, often associated with a larger research activity of research theme being studied by the academic staff within the School, or with an external organisation.
The School has a robust mechanism of collection, reviewing and approving staff-led and industrial projects, their implantation and assessment across all the cohorts of PGT programs in the school and their quality assurance. The description provided here should be used as the guiding principles instead of binding.
