Course
Structure
Students
will have approximately 30 hours of timetabled course
activity. Lectures are supplemented by practical
and laboratory classes as well as project sessions.
The course covers all the traditional aspects of
Chemical and Process Engineering, as well as many
more modern features such as Biotechnology, Computer
Aided Engineering, and Environmental Technology.
The range of subjects has been chosen to
enable graduates to seek employment in a wide variety
of areas including in research, consulting,
contracting and production.
