Introduction
Overview
Chemical engineers and chemical engineering plays a pivotal role in net-zero energy transition and the future of the planet, alongside mitigating the impact of traditional oil and gas. This is because industrial decarbonisation around the globe will heavily rely on availability of affordable low-carbon sources of energy and the development of hydrogen as a clean fuel for example, advanced energy conversion and storage technologies, as well as carbon capture, storage and utilisation.
Chemical engineers possess the unique set of skills to imagine, design, optimise and commercialise such innovative technologies in the drive to achieve net zero. Want to become one of them? Join our MSc in Advanced Chemical Engineering and work alongside world-leading chemical engineering experts actively engaged in researching and developing the innovative materials and processes essential for net-zero energy transition.
We promote applied approach to learning. Using our world-class campus pilot plant facilities and benefiting from Cranfield’s strong industry links, you will gain the essential skills and experience to develop a successful career in a thriving discipline with its high demand for postgraduate level engineers. You will also benefit from professional development, career mentoring and teamwork to transform you into the engineering leader who will solve global challenges.

Admissions
Curriculum
Course structure
The taught program is delivered from October to February and is comprised of eight modules. The modules are delivered over one week of intensive delivery with the latter part of the module being free from structured teaching to allow time for more independent learning and reflection. Students on the part-time program will complete all of the modules based on a flexible schedule that will be agreed upon with the Course Director.
Taught Modules 40%, Group Project 20%, Individual Research Project 40%
Individual project
The individual research project allows students to investigate deeper into an area of specific interest. It is very common for industrial partners to put forward real-world problems or areas of development as potential research project topics. The individual research project component takes place between May and September.
Group project
The Group Project, undertaken between February and May, enables you to put the skills and knowledge developed during the course modules into practice in an applied context while gaining transferable skills in project management, teamwork, and independent research. Projects are often supported by industry and potential future employers value this experience. The group project is normally multidisciplinary and shared across the Energy and Sustainability MSc programme, giving the added benefit of working with students with other academic backgrounds.
Career Opportunities
Future career
The Advanced Chemical Engineering MSc is based on Cranfield’s industry-driven research, which makes our graduates some of the most desirable in the world for recruitment by companies competing in a range of industries, including conventional and clean energy, materials, environments, biorefining, biochemicals, petrochemicals, waste management and consultancy and management.
Those wishing to continue their education via PhD or MBA studies in the chemical or energy sectors will be well prepared by the interdisciplinary, project-oriented profile that they will have acquired through this course.
