Why study Advanced Chemical Engineering Masters at Birmingham?

• In this course we consider the important aspects of chemical engineering in the 21st century that address the issues of the design and development of key formulated products that will increase process efficiency, enable healthy lifestyles and allow clean use of energy. Such products include formulated foods, fuel cells, medical devices and pharmaceuticals.
• Our themed optional modules enable you to specialise in areas of chemical and process engineering that interest you; from the production and formulation of pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products, formulation of structured food products, generation of bioproducts, clean energy including hydrogen fuel cells and thermal energy storage, and the business surrounding chemical and process engineering.
• Teaching is led by our world-leading research in chemical engineering, and during the research project students work within research groups on an original research project.
• Birmingham has been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century. With over 35,000 students and 7,000 staff, today we are one of the world’s leading universities. Characterised by a tradition of innovation, research at the University has broken new ground, pushed forward the boundaries of knowledge and made an impact on people’s lives – a tradition that this programme proudly continues.
• Explore important aspects of modern chemical engineering, addressing the design and development of key formulated products, energy systems, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare technologies.
• Specialise in areas that interest you, from the formulation of structured food products, to efficient energy systems, and the development of healthcare technologies, to the business surrounding chemical and process engineering.
• Benefit from our collaborations with world-class industry partners, and international, leading-edge engineering and science departments.
• The MSc in Advanced Chemical Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers.

Accredited degree

This Masters degree is accredited by the  Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE)

The value of accreditation

IChemE accreditation provides benchmarking of academic programmes against high, internationally recognised standards. This is increasingly important as the globalisation of engineering products and services demands greater confidence by employers in the skills and professionalism of the engineers they recruit.
