Course Structure

 

 

 

 

"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 taught by academic staff at the Department of Engineering and the Judge Business School.

 

Due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and government guidance, some changes were made to the M.Phil. ACE programme in order to mitigate against risks to health and to give students the best possible academic experience in the circumstances.

The changes to the 2020-21 course were:

(a) Lectures, tutorials, workshops, etc. were delivered online;

(b) Written examinations were held online;

(c) Small-scale supervision was provided via either in-person or online delivery.

 

In-person teaching and examination resumed in the Michaelmas Term 2021; it should be noted, however, that certain aspects of the course may still be delivered online, to improve the educational experience for students or in the event that a lecturer is unable to give their course in person.
