Chemical Engineering

The graduation requirements include obtaining a minimum Cumulative Average Point (CAP) of 3.00 (equivalent to an average of Grade B-) for the best 40 MCs, inclusive of core modules, where required.  Of the 40 MCs, at least 30 MCs must be at graduate level within the subject or in a related discipline, the remaining credits may be from other levels in the same or other disciplines as approved by the Department.

Students of the MSc (ChemEng) must successfully complete a programme of study consisting of at least four core modules, at least three electives from Group 1 and the remaining modules from Group 2. Modules in Group 1 are in several specialised areas of chemical engineering while those in Group 2 consist of selected modules from the Master of Science programmes in Environmental Engineering and Safety, Health and Environmental Technology approved by the Department.
