The M.Phil. Programme is a full-time course occupying one year and is structured as follows:

1. Michaelmas Term Students come into College residence in Cambridge in late September/early October, and take three core Chemical Engineering modules and start one core Management of Technology and Innovation (MoTI) module (run by the Judge Business School). In addition, students are expected to take two elective modules taught by other departments within the University.
2. Lent Term Students take one core Chemical Engineering module and three elective modules, and complete the MoTI module by undertaking a consultancy project for a UK client organisation.

"The M.Phil. programme in Advanced Chemical Engineering has equipped me with the appropriate transferable skills such as effective communication, problem solving, organising, working to deadlines, management and leadership qualities to compete in the global markets."

The above modules are taught by a combination of formal lectures, demonstrations, discussion classes and example problems, and students are expected to devote at least four evenings per week to private study. The taught material enhances basic knowledge on Chemical Engineering fundamentals, as well as offering experience of other science and business based disciplines. The courses are assessed by both unseen examination and written coursework. Examples of modules that may be offered are included in the following Tables. The elective courses are run by the Judge Business School and the Department of Engineering.
