Compulsory modules
Modelling of Chemical Engineering Systems (15 credits)
The module is designed to develop the student's understanding of principles and application of modelling of chemical systems.
To give the students a critical appreciation of the use of relevant software tools for modelling and analysis of complex chemical engineering systems.
Research Methods
The aims of this module are to:
- Develop skills to critically review the literature and apply them to scientific and engineering problems;

- Gain an understanding of and how to apply the ideas to measure unknown quantities.
Optional modules
Mixing of Fluids and Particles (15 credits)
The aims of the module are to:
- Understand the fundamentals of single and multi-phase fluid mixing processes and particle-particle mixing
- Gain an understanding on the design and operation of industrial mixing processes
- Gain an understanding on the scale up of industrial mixing processes to be able to take formulated products to market
- Acquire knowledge on the ways in which mixing affects product properties
Drug Delivery and Targeting (15 credits)
The aims of this module are to:
- To develop an understanding of the principles of Drug Delivery and Targeting
- To give practice in the selection and modelling of drug delivery devices
Process Intensification (15 credits)
The aims of this module are:
- To obtain an understanding of the concept of process intensification and how they can be used to improve the cost-effectiveness, efficiency, energy use,
environmental impact and safety of a process or unit operation - To apply process intensification strategies to selected process applications such as chemical and biochemical reactions, separation and dispersion processes
- To gain knowledge and understanding of a range of intensification technologies which can be used for improving the cost-effectiveness, energy use,
environmental impact and safety of processes and unit operations, such as reaction, separation and dispersion processes - To obtain a knowledge of a range of applications, both existing and potential, for process intensification technologies
