Description Contents Requirements

Modern chemical engineering is a vast subject extending far beyond its traditional roots in oil and gas processing. As well as dealing with chemical reactors, distillation and the numerous processes that take place in a chemical or petrochemical plant, there is an increasing need for chemical engineers able to design and develop formulated products and to have knowledge of biotechnology and environmental issues.

* If you already have a first degree in chemical engineering you can study the discipline in greater depth as well as learning about broader issues through the choice of elective subjects.
* If you are already working in industry or are planning to work in a particular area, then this course can be tailored to focus on issues related to those of direct concern to you.

Who will benefit from the course?

* Those who already have a background in chemical engineering but who wish to obtain a higher level qualification from a top-ranking British university.
* Those who wish to enhance their career prospects in a chemical industry.

What are the benefits to students?

* Our graduates get great jobs and chemical engineers are the highest paid professionals in the engineering field
* Courses are designed to meet the needs of employers and you develop many skills for a successful career - design, problem solving, numeracy, analysis, communication and teamwork
* The University of Manchester has an excellent international reputation and a qualification from us will significantly increase your chances of getting a job anywhere in the world
* Specialist subjects are all taught by experts in the field
* Entry requirements are flexible - relevant experience is considered alongside your formal qualifications
