Process engineers are among the most demanded engineers across multiple sectors, due to the flexibility of their skillset. They can design, optimise and operate industrial processes, as well as lead engineering projects. MSc in Advanced Process Engineering integrates applied learning experience with internationally-recognised research, professional development, career mentoring and teamwork to transform students into the engineering leaders who will solve global challenges.
Ranked in the UK top 5 for mechanical engineering, Cranfield offers a unique, postgraduate-only environment, near-industrial scale engineering facilities, industrially focused modules and real-world case studies. Students will take a practical approach to develop solutions to challenges, such as achieving net-zero in power and industrial sectors and solving climate emergency.
Advanced Process Engineering course is ideal for candidates with engineering and applied science background who want to dedicate their career to solving global challenges via process engineering. Process engineers play a pivotal role in contributing to meeting emission reduction targets and, subsequently, global warming mitigation.
Cranfield recognises that process engineering is an inherently multi-disciplinary and, therefore, complex field of study. This course is specifically designed for those seeking a career in design and development, research and development, operation and management of process engineering systems in the industry, government or research organisations.
This course will equip students with an advanced process engineering knowledge, as well as applied analytical, problem-solving and communication skills that are crucial to their successful career as a process engineer or project engineer.
Students will become proficient in the use of state-of-the-art approaches that are applied throughout the process development process to deal with the major operational and design challenges. They will receive the up-to-date technical knowledge and develop skills required for achieving the best management, design, control and operation of efficient process systems.
The Advanced Process Engineering MSc is designed to provide students with the skills, knowledge and expertise required to develop a successful career in any sector, including energy and power, nuclear, chemical, petrochemical, water, food and drink, and pharmaceutical industries. Cranfield aims to influence career development from day one. This course will enable students to apply their learning through applied modules and real-life assignments, industrially-relevant group and individual research projects.
