Master of Science - Advanced Chemical Engineering

The MSc in Advanced Chemical Engineering helps students and engineering professionals advance their knowledge in chemical and process engineering and build the skills for future-thinking careers.

Chemical engineering is a rapidly evolving field that impacts areas including energy, food, water, and health. This Master's in Advanced Chemical Engineering focuses on the fundamentals of key chemical and industrial processes and how they are put into practice. Students will encounter the latest technologies available to the process industries and gain exposure to a broad range of crucial operations and optimization methods.

This course considers different routes of specialization including Particle Engineering and Processing, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Energy and Nanomaterials and Water Engineering. A multidisciplinary approach also incorporates sustainable synergies between Biotechnology, Bioprocessing and Food Engineering. Students will join a cutting-edge research culture that prepares them for future global challenges and emerge from this course with a comprehensive skillset for lasting careers as a professional chemical engineer.

Core lectures are delivered by members of the School of Engineering who are specialists in their respective fields. Guest speakers from industrialists or renowned researchers are often included to bring additional perspectives from industry or research and keep students updated with the latest international standards in their discipline.

Greenwich uses different teaching approaches to give students a varied experience. This includes lectures, interactive paper-led discussions and exercises to encourage creative thinking. The taught modules are informed by research and the theory of each topic is accompanied by practical elements covering paper-based, computer-based and hands-on building type challenges.

This Advanced Chemical Engineering programme is designed to give students the space for exploratory and independent study. They'll work towards individual and group assignments and undertake the preparation or follow-up work associated with lectures, seminars, integrative assignments and laboratory classes. Moreover, learners can take advantage of a range of extra-curricular opportunities available within the university and elsewhere.

Space exists within the postgraduate marketplace in a broad range of Chemical Engineering sectors for competent, intellectually active and forward thinking graduates capable of understanding and supporting businesses to adapt and stay ahead of the curve. This programme enable graduates to achieve both highly technical and managerial careers by equipping them with relevant skills to meet current and near-future business needs.
