MSc Chemical Engineering
KPT/JPS (F3-K035) 12/11
The MSc in Chemical Engineering is a 12-month course consisting of 2 semesters of lectures, project work, continuous
assessment and examinations, followed by an individual research project, leading to the submission of an MSc
dissertation. The course has been designed to assist holders of relevant degrees in science and engineering to upgrade
their academic qualifications and enhance their professional standing. The syllabus covers, amongst other topics, Process
Synthesis and Design, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Advanced Process Control.
Programme Structure
The programme is operated on a modular basis and consists of two semesters during which students follow a series of
taught modules (60 credits per semester), followed by a research project (60 credits) undertaken during the summer
period. You will be taught using the latest advances in teaching methods and electronic resources.
Programme Modules
Module are worth 10 credits unless shown otherwise. Students must choose a total of 70 credits of modules from those
listed in Autumn and Spring Semesters, with a minimum of 30 credits at level 4. To meet IChemE’s ‘further learning’
requirement the choice must include at least 40 credits of those marked*. All students must complete the ‘Full-Year’ and
project modules listed separately, leading to a total of 180 credits for the course.

MSc Electronic Communications and Computer Engineering
KPT/JPS (F3-K051) 12/11
This MSc is designed to provide instruction and training in
the most recent developments in the areas of technology
covering Electronics, Communications and Computer
Engineering. The course aims to provide students with
advanced and comprehensive coverage of specialist skills
required by an engineer working in electronic
instrumentation, electronic systems, telecommunications
(both wireless and wired) and computer hardware and
software aspects of computer engineering. The programme
also provides an excellent basis for engineers wishing to
update their knowledge, or students who wish to go on to do
research, or for first degree students wishing to enhance their
training.
The programme offers exciting opportunities of research,
industrial collaboration and learning in the fast-growing field
of communications and computer engineering.
Programme Structure
The programme is operated on a modular basis and consists
of two semesters during which students follow a series of
taught modules (120 credits), followed by a research project
(60 credits) undertaken during the summer period. You will be
taught using the latest advances in teaching methods and
electronic resources.
