Course content

This specialised stream provides a firm foundation in the science and engineering of biological processes, ranging from metabolic engineering and tissue engineering to wastewater treatment.

The Department of Chemical Engineering offers four courses that are built around a wide choice of advanced taught modules plus a research project in one of our research focus areas.

• 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

Studying this course prepares you with a strong foundation of chemical engineering fundamentals and the ability to apply these to industry.

The specialised streams allow you to explore one area of chemical engineering in more depth.

The Biotechnology course provides a firm foundation in the science and engineering of biological processes, ranging from metabolic engineering and tissue engineering to wastewater treatment.

When you graduate, you'll be able to apply the main unit operations involved in industrial biotechnology processes to design and simulate selected upstream biotechnological processes.

You'll also have the skills to apply conventional downstream separation approaches to solve industrially relevant problems related to bioproduction processes.
