This is a 1 year, full time program for most students.

The core modules include:

• Desalination Technology

This module helps you understand the technology behind the production of fresh water from seawater, with a special emphasis on sustainability.

• Big Data Systems and Analytics

This module focuses on building, managing and using ‘big data’ networks. It touches on IP law, ethics and the modern digital economy.

• Transport Phenomena

Here you’ll study CFD modelling, momentum transport, energy transport and the equations which relate to them.

• Upstream Production and Refinery Operations

Here you’ll study the petroleum refining process using simulation, design and synthesis.

• Food and Pharmaceutical Process Engineering

Here you’ll look at the processes behind designing and creating substances that are fit for human consumption.

• MSc Project

You’ll learn to plan, implement and review an academic project.

Typical optional modules include:

• Polymer and Materials Engineering
• Risk Assessment and Management
• Water and Waste Water Treatment
• Supply Chain Management and Production

The chemical and petroleum engineering industries are on track to grow even faster than most other engineering industries in the next few years, increasing an already high demand for master’s level graduates. You could therefore expect a rewarding career in environmental protection, medical science, pharmaceutical development or metals extraction. Recent graduates have gone to work for organisations like KPMG, British Sugar, IMI Precision Engineering, Unilever, PLadis Global and Suez UK.
