Summary
The programme is a full-time course occupying 11 months and is structured as follows:
Students come into College residence in late September/early October. During the first two terms, students take a total of ten taught modules, the choice of which includes a combination of core chemical engineering modules and elective modules based on engineering and business/management-related subjects. During March to August, students undertake a full-time research project, the results of which are submitted as a dissertation.
The objectives of the programme are to:
provide students with advanced technical skills in chemical engineering; enable students to solve problems within an engineering type of environment; provide students with business and management skills; and provide training in research. Learning Outcomes Successful students should gain:
advanced knowledge of fundamental areas of chemical engineering;
an understanding of how discoveries and other ideas can be exploited effectively, including new company spin-outs, reorganisation of existing company structures, technology licensing, etc, by undertaking a series of business-based modules to include topics such as financing and marketing;
the capacity to work individually and in a team, under time constraints, to produce workable solutions to engineering problems. Key skills learned will be time management, interaction with colleagues, obtaining technical and financial information, defining optimal outcomes, and presentation and communication of results; and
the ability to define, organise and undertake a research project within a specified period of time and to report it in writing and by seminar in an acceptable manner. The project might involve business-related as well as chemical engineering research and may involve industrial collaboration. This will introduce the student to the practical problems of undertaking research.
Continuing This course cannot be counted as one year of a PhD research degree, although continuing students wishing to apply for a PhD are expected to obtain a good Pass for the MPhil ACE course.
Open Days The Postgraduate Virtual Open Day usually takes place at the beginning of November. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions to admissions staff and academics, explore the Colleges virtually, and to find out more about courses, the application process and funding opportunities.
