This course is an integrated distinctive as it covers the theory of chemical engineering coupled with computer simulation laboratory practice and industrial placement enabling graduates to be well equipped with the desired skills sought after by employers.

The course consists of modules with a total credit value of 480 credits which are made up of 20 standard modules of 20 points each a design project module of 40 points in third and group project module of 40 points in fourth.

Each you need to complete 120 credits. In the first you are introduced to basic engineering principles design and fundamentals of chemical engineering.

The second focuses on core unit operations such as fluid flow thermodynamics chemical reactions separation processes process design and simulation and control.

In third the course further trains you in areas of process safety and control process engineering and clean technologies. You apply all the knowledge gained in your previous study into the design project covering raw materials to final desired products. In the fourth and final you further learn at advanced level about energy technologies and subsurface engineering as well as undertaking a research project.

After two-years study you are encouraged to opt take a one industrial placement (sandwich course).
