FACULTY OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

{EH750 & EH950}

The Faculty of Chemical Engineering began

offering the postgraduate programme in December
2002. The faculty offers two graduates programmes at
masters level. EH750 is a fully research based programme where the award of MSc degree is through a
completion of a research done under qualified supervisor. EH785 on the other hand, is a mix mode programme specifically designed to provide the research
and development activities as well as offering the
courses of the latest technology in chemical engineering. This programme allows the award of MSc degree
through the completion of 30% coursework and 70%
research work. The PhD programme (EH950) was
designed to provide an award of PhD degree through
advanced, independent and original research carried
out under qualified supervisor. Depending on the area
of study, the research may be conducted within or outside of the faculty.

MSc BY RESEARCH & DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN PETROLEUM ENGINEERING

In 2014, the Oil and Gas Engineering Department under the Faculty of Chemical Engineering has
decided to offer another four MSc (EH750) and PhD
(EH950) programmes for the faculty i.e MSc by research and PhD in Petroleum Engineering and MSc by
research and PhD in Gas Engineering. The aim of the
programmes is to produce quality and marketable
graduates in energy industry since many petroleum
engineers will reach retirement age within the next 510 years. It is noteworthy that the petroleum and natural gas will continue to be the main global energy
source for many years to come. The graduates are expected to work in research, production, consultancy
within a very international oil and gas industry and as
academician in any higher learning institutions.

The programme is suited to students who wish to

gain a petroleum engineering qualification and enter the
exploration and production (upstream) part of the petroleum industry. It is also aimed at petro-technical professionals already working in the upstream petroleum industry who wish to advance their technical careers in petroleum engineering.
Individuals who have a relevant science degree
(such as geology, geophysics, geosciences, physics) and
who have more than three years upstream petroleum industry experience may also be eligible for this programme.

MSc BY RESEARCH & DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN GAS ENGINEERING

The programme is aimed at covering the research
for the whole value chain of natural gas including exploration and production, processing, liquefaction, transport,
conversion to chemicals, power generation and heating.
Technologies for carbon dioxide capture and storage is
emphasized in the processing and conversion steps of the
value chain.
