The MEngSt allows students with academic engineering backgrounds to expand their existing theoretical and practical skills. It is flexible – you can study either full-time or part-time, undertake either a primarily coursework or research-focused programme, and choose from sixteen distinct specialisations. This programme ultimately requires an in-depth exploration of your chosen topic. You will demonstrate the high-quality critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are sought-after by employers worldwide. The MEngSt is also a foundation for further study. Postgraduate students in Chemical and Materials Engineering gain a deeper understanding of how things work, with the potential to develop new technologies. Areas of interest include: Advanced and nanomaterials research, which involves in-depth studies into properties, performance, processing, microstructure, and industrial applications Chemical and process engineering, including aluminium smelting technology, heat exchange, iron and steel making, food processing, high-pressure sterilisation, and more Energy and the environment, including biodiesel, oil and gas processing, thermal management, air flow and heat transfer, and clean technologies Food and bioproduct processing, with a focus on value-added food products and cost-effective technologies Materials engineering, with studies in novel materials design, manufacturing and processing. Specialist areas are light metals, nanomaterials and biomaterials Separation and reaction engineering, specialising in green process engineering Surface and materials science, from the nano to large-scale
