Within the context of your programme of study, students will undertake independent, original and critical research on a relevant topic. Students will then communicate the research objectives, methodology, analysis, results and conclusions effectively both orally and through the production of a Dissertation.

Industrial placement or collaboration is strongly encouraged and facilitated.

The subject matter of the research based dissertation is provided in the School of chemistry and Chem Engineering project specification list offered by academic staff. Alternatively, students may initiate their own project in accordance with local arrangements within the different MSc programmes in engineering related to chemical Engineering.

Whatever the topic, the background literature must be researched and critically reviewed so that analysis (mathematical or numerical) methods and/or experimental procedures may be identified and justified as appropriate to the challenges of the project specification. A pure subject review without either analysis or experimental investigation is deemed inappropriate for an MSc dissertation.

A research project from a discipline that is different to the MSc programme(e.g. Environmental engineering) being followed may be undertaken where the invitation to participate is sufficiently open and the student has the necessary background knowledge and competence to permit meeting the project challenges in the timescale available.

This module introduces the structure of atoms and molecules and how structure affects their behaviour and properties. Practical exercises are included to reinforce the theoretical aspects of the module.
