MSc/PgDip/PgCert Advanced Chemical & Process Engineering (distance learning)

This course is accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) – the global professional membership organisation for chemical engineering professionals.

It's designed specifically for graduates of related science and engineering disciplines working in chemical and process industries, with all the taught content delivered online via our virtual learning environment. This first semester focuses on Chemical Engineering fundamentals as a refresher for those with a Chemical Engineering background and conversion for students of other science and engineering disciplines. Your work-based final project will be supervised by one of our world-class academics, allowing you to apply your learning to a real-world problem relevant to your employer.

You may exit the course with a postgraduate diploma after two years or a postgraduate certificate at the end of the first year. You may transfer between MSc Process Technology and Management and MSc Chemical Technology and Management, provided that you do so before the end of the first semester.

Academic requirements

Generally, at least a second-class Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in chemical engineering or relevant engineering, technology or science discipline. Other qualifications may be considered if they meet the same standard.

Students must currently be working in a relevant role that will allow completion of the work-based project.
