Department of Chemical Engineering
The Department is one of the world’s leading institutions
in both teaching and research of chemical engineering.
The Department was awarded a 5* rating in the latest
Research Assessment Exercise and covers a broad
spectrum of science and engineering relevant to
the technology of the process industries. Research
ranges from technological studies of the behaviour of
processes and equipment, to fundamental scientific
study of the underlying physical, chemical and biological
phenomena, and to the development of techniques for
planning, design and control of processes. Teaching and
research laboratories are well-equipped and backed by
comprehensive technical services.
We offer several opportunities for
science and engineering graduates to
advance their skills; these are:
 MSc COURSES
• MSc in Advanced Chemical
Engineering
• MSc in Advanced Chemical
Engineering with Biotechnology
• MSc in Advanced Chemical
Engineering with Process Systems
Engineering
• MSc in Advanced Chemical
Engineering with Structured Product
Engineering

Bursaries, research assistantships and EPSRC studentships,
including links with industry, are available to eligible candidates.
Applicants are particularly encouraged to apply for the following
projects:
• Biofuels: production of gas and liquid fuels from biomass
• Catalytic hydrocracking of heavy oils and coal derived liquids
• Systems biology: modelling of cellular signal transduction
networks
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Normal qualifications for acceptance for postgraduate studies
in the Department include a fi rst or upper second class Honous
