In response to the needs of industry, this multidisciplinary programme aims to train and enhance the skills of a new generation of postgraduates who have competencies across the boundaries of engineering, science and management.
Targeted at those wanting a career in the chemical, biochemical or pharmaceutical industries, this programme bridges the gap between the disciplines of process analytical technologies, process control, chemical engineering, mathematics and statistics, and quality technology. These key training areas are taught together with business and project management.
