CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
MASTER OF ENG IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Course Aim:
Graduates develop the knowledge and skills required to conduct independent research in chemical engineering and environmental problems, and to contribute significantly to knowledge production through the understanding, application and evaluation of existing and new knowledge.

Purpose and Rationale of the Qualification
This qualification is intended for chemical engineers or technologists working in process related industries. Learners achieving this qualification have the competence to conduct independent research in chemical engineering, and contribute significantly to knowledge production through the understanding, application and evaluation of existing knowledge. The research problem, its justification, process and outcome is reported in a thesis, which complies with the generally accepted norms at that level.

Opportunities:
Graduates play an important role in the development of new products, new applications for existing products or raw materials, or cheaper ways of making existing products.

Concern for the environment, the development of cleaner production technologies, waste minimisation and recycling have become major fields of research in chemical engineering. Research relates to the technical methods of assessing environmental impacts, including the preparation of emission inventories, air pollutant dispersion modelling, and ambient air and water monitoring. Graduates are employed in research and development in industry, as well as in teaching positions at higher education institutions.

Admission requirements:
A level 8 qualification with a minimum aggregate of 60% in the following qualifications:
• A Postgraduate Diploma in Chemical Engineering;
• A Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Honours) in Chemical Engineering;
• A Professional Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering; or related field.

Prospective postgraduate students for full thesis studies must first find a provisional research topic or research area, and possible supervisor. For information on the fields / areas of study and Supervisors go to:

Research Areas and Supervisors (https://www.cput.ac.za/study/research-areas-and-supervisors)

Acceptance is dependent on a supervisor being available for the specific field of study, as well as space / equipment availability - the student should consult with the department before submitting their application.
