This course is mainly for engineering students from the UK and overseas who want to develop careers in the oil, gas, process and chemical industries. The course has a strong project-based approach and is relevant to the recruitment needs of a wide range of employers. It meets accreditation requirements for the Institute of Chemical Engineers allowing graduates to apply for chartered engineer status. Our course is one of the few MSc programmes to offer the module Safety Management Practices. It offers exposure to best industry practice and much required industrial training.

There is growing demand for high-calibre graduates who can develop and apply advanced process technologies in chemical and process industries. Some students may be eligible to apply for PhD places in the department and across the Engineering faculty.
