Enhance your employability in the competitive global market with a qualification that provides advanced technical foundations and industrial perspectives in your chosen field. Programme overview The MEngSt allows students with academic engineering backgrounds to expand their existing theoretical and practical skills. It is flexible – you can study either full-time or part-time, undertake either a primarily coursework or research-focused programme, and choose from sixteen distinct specialisations. This programme ultimately requires an in-depth exploration of your chosen topic. You will demonstrate the high-quality critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are sought-after by employers worldwide, or consider this as foundation for further study. Chemical and Materials Engineering Postgraduate students in Chemical and Materials Engineering gain a deeper understanding of how things work, with the potential to develop new technologies. Areas of interest include: Advanced and nanomaterials research, which involves in-depth studies into properties, performance, processing, microstructure, and industrial applications Chemical and process engineering, including aluminium smelting technology, heat exchange, iron and steel making, food processing, high-pressure sterilisation, and more Energy and the environment, including biodiesel, oil and gas processing, thermal management, air flow and heat transfer, and clean technologies Food and bioproduct processing, with a focus on value-added food products and cost-effective technologies Materials engineering, with studies into metals and manufacturing, and non-metallic materials such as polymers for high-performance applications Separation and reaction engineering, specialising in green process engineering Surface and materials science, from the nano to large-scale Structuring your postgraduate programme in Chemical and Materials Engineering 120 point programme At least 45 points from: Semesters One and Two CHEMMAT 713 Studies in Chemical Engineering (15 points) CHEMMAT 721 Advanced Materials (15 points) Semester One CHEMMAT 724 Advanced Materials Characterisation (15 points) CHEMMAT 752 Process Dynamics and Control (15 points) CHEMMAT 772 Advanced Food Process Engineering (15 points) Semester Two CHEMMAT 773 Food Process Systems Engineering (15 points) MECHENG 742 Advanced Materials Manufacturing (15 points) Up to 75 points from: Semesters One and Two CHEMMAT 712 Chemical Engineering Seminar (15 points) CHEMMAT 722 Materials Seminar (15 points) Semester One CHEMMAT 752 Non-metallic Materials (15 points) CHEMMAT 755 Food Processing Engineering (15 points) Semester Two CHEMMAT 754 Materials Engineering (15 points) CHEMMAT 755 Electronic Materials and their Appliances (15 points) CHEMMAT 757 Engineering Biotechnology (15 points) Up to 45 points from appropriate 600 and 700 level courses offered at this University, subject to approval by the Head of Department Jobs related to this programme Design engineer Process engineering manager Product engineer Project manager Senior engineer Software developer Further study options Master of Engineering Doctor of Philosophy
