The M.Phil. Programme is a full-time course occupying one year and is structured as follows:
- Michaelmas Term Students come into College residence in Cambridge in late September and attend Department induction in early October. During the Term, students take the compulsory taught module Numerical Methods, and four other modules from a list of core Chemical Engineering and elective subjects.
- Lent Term Students take the compulsory taught module Data Analysis, and another four modules from the list supplied.
"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."
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.

3. March - August During this period students undertake a full-time research project within the University, the results of which are submitted as a dissertation. The research projects are supervised by University staff members, and students will be required to plan and execute their own work. The projects may include extensive industrial collaboration.
