Chemical Engineering Science MRes

This is a one year, full-time programme comprising a major research project and six taught modules which are taken intermittently throughout the year.

These support the development of both research and transferable skills. All students take a set of compulsory modules and a selection of optional modules of their choice (subject to timetabling).

• Process engineering fundamentals - 10 credits*
• Measurement techniques - 10 credits
• Effective Project Management - 10 credits
• Presentation and communication skills/team skills development - 10 credits

* This module is compulsory for students without an appropriate engineering degree. Students with relevant prior experience will take an additional 10 credits from the optional modules.

Select 20 or 30 (see * above) credits of options. Example optional modules listed below:

• Bioscience for graduates from other scientific disciplines 10
• Cell factories 10
• Bioseparations 20
• Bioreaction engineering 10
• Molecular delivery 10
• Characterisation of structured fluids 10
• Interfacial physics and chemistry 10
• Mathematical modelling of time-dependent processes 10
• From bench to market: the development of pharmaceutical drug products 10
• Design and development of drug delivery systems 10
• Powder technology 10
• Developing food structure through thermal processing 10
