Course summary

Why this course?

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

It's designed specifically for graduates of related science and engineering disciplines who are working in chemical and process industries, with all of the taught content delivered online via our virtual learning environment. This first semester focusses on Chemical Engineering fundamentals, as a refresher for those who have 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 and will give you the opportunity to apply your learning to a real-world problem that is relevant to your employer.

You may choose to exit the course with a postgraduate diploma after two years, or 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.

What you'll study:
The MSc Process Technology & Management, MSc Chemical Technology & Management and MSc Advanced Chemical and Process Engineering are delivered in parallel. All three courses draw from a pool of Advanced Chemical Engineering and Business/Management, but with a slightly different combination of core and optional classes depending on the programme and the professional requirements of the student. The relationship between these three programmes enables you to transfer between, provided that you do so before the end of the first semester.

The modular approach to this course combines a designed core programme, with an element of choice that allows you to choose subjects relevant to you and your industry.

In your first semester, you'll take three 10-credit classes: Process Design Principles, Safety Management Practices and Programming and Optimisation. Youll subsequently follow a programme of core management/business classes, and core and optional classes related to chemistry, chemical engineering, chemical and process technology.

Final project
Youll normally take on this project in your own workplace allowing you to make practical use of the concepts learned throughout the course. The project is the main focus of the third year of the course. An academic supervisor with experience in your chosen project field will help you with the academic requirements of the project. The management and eventual conclusion of the project will be driven by you.
Course content
This MSc distance learning course has been designed to deliver in-depth knowledge and the skills required for your profession while allowing you to select classes to suit your requirements and learning objectives.

In your first semester you'll study Process Analysis in Chemical Engineering, and Process Design Principles. These are designed as revision and levelling for those who have a Chemical Engineering background, and conversion for students of other science and engineering disciplines. For the remainder of years 1 and 2 you'll study a mix of Advanced Chemical Engineering core and optional classes, with the opportunity to broaden your degree with some business and management content.

In the final year you'll complete a project in your workplace, which combines your industry experience with your learning from the previous two years.
Careers:
Whether you're planning to progress your career into engineering management, redevelop yourself as an engineer or move into a new industry 鈥� a Masters degree will expand your career opportunities. This MSc will also let you validate your skills and competency to employers.

Study mode and duration: MSc: 36 months, part-time
PgDip: 24 months part-time
PgCert: 12 months part-time
