This programme has been designed to meet industry demand for engineers who can apply sustainability principles and techniques to materials and process engineering. The programme is suitable for science and engineering graduates and focuses on training in advanced materials engineering and process engineering skills for a sustainable future.
MSc students take compulsory modules and select a further optional module (either chemical engineering or energy management, depending on the subject of their first degree). They then undertake a four-month research project leading to a dissertation.
Diploma students take taught modules but do not undertake the research project or dissertation.
Assessment is by written examination, course work and, for MSc students, a dissertation based on a project conducted in association with industry or one of the research groups.
