Postgraduate Diploma - Advanced Chemical Engineering with Healthcare Technology

University of Birmingham - Edgbaston

What you will study

The Advanced Chemical Engineering with Healthcare Technology programme explores advanced chemical engineering topics with an emphasis on healthcare technology. The three major research areas – formulation engineering, energy, and healthcare technology – guide the programme.

Chemical engineering is dynamic and evolving, and today extends far beyond its roots in oil and gas processing. It provides many solutions to problems facing the healthcare, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, energy and food and drink sectors.

This programme focuses on advanced chemical engineering topics that inform the modern process engineering industry, with a focus on healthcare technology topics. The three major research areas – healthcare technology, formulation engineering, and energy – guide the programme, with a focus on healthcare.

There is an increasing demand to deliver new technologies that allow to more rapidly diagnose and better treat patients. Advances in medicine mean people are living longer than ever before, and chances of survival following devastating, life-changing events are increasing. However, these successes lead to major challenges. Life expectancy has extended, but there is no commensurate improvement in the quality of life to match the longer life-span. This demand has led to a rapid increase in the amount of research undertaken to develop new healthcare technologies.

The School of Chemical Engineering at Birmingham focuses on research in three areas, answering three major questions of global importance:

• Healthcare Technology - How to maintain a healthy ageing population? • Formulation Engineering - How to develop and produce formulated products such as food or pharmaceuticals with novel properties in a sustainable manner? • Energy - How to reshape energy supply and storage in a suitable way?

This Advanced Chemical Engineering with Healthcare Technology programme focuses on exploring the key aspects of chemical engineering that students can use to answer these three questions, with a focus on the Healthcare Technology theme. Core modules will give students an advanced understanding of chemical engineering principles. Pathway modules will allow students to develop expertise in Healthcare Technology topics and optional modules will allow students to choose additional areas of study.
