MSc Advanced Chemical Engineering

The Advanced Chemical Engineering course offered by the University of Strathclyde is a full-time, one-year postgraduate course designed for graduates with a degree in chemical engineering or a related discipline who wish to further deepen their understanding of chemical engineering. It provides students with advanced instruction in the methods and applications of chemical engineering principles as well as training in professional skills and an independent research project.Course Content: The curriculum, which is designed for full-time students over a one-year period, is split into two semesters. Each semester equips students with advanced knowledge in chemical engineering principles and methods. Semester 1 focuses on continuous processes with emphasis on thermodynamics and the design of heat, mass and momentum transfer processes. Semester 2 shifts to batch processing with emphasis on safety, environmental and economic aspects. The course also includes modules in transferable skills and research methods to better equip students for future employment or study.Key Modules: Key modules in the course include Advanced Chemical Engineering & Practice, Transferable Skills, MSc Project & Dissertation, and Research Methods. Additional elective modules to choose from include areas such as Batch Process Engineering, Supply Chain Management, and Safety, Environmental & Economic Aspects of Process Design. Accreditations: This course is fully accredited by the Institutions of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), EurAgEng (European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education), and Energy Institute (EI). Future Careers: Graduates from this course will be well-prepared for careers in sectors such as design engineering in the process industries, research and development, or consultancy. The course also equips students with advanced skills desired by employers in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, environmental engineering, renewable energy, and more.
