M.S.c in Chemical Engineering

The Department offers M.Sc. degree courses in Chemical Engineering in the following four specializations:

• Process Engineering
• Energy Engineering
• Biochemical Engineering

The following two routes are available to qualify for the award of M.Sc. degree:

Both M.Sc. by Coursework and M.Sc. by Research are offered as part of the M.Sc. Chemical Engineering program. By the end of first semester, the students are required to submit Preference Form for Focus Area of Research clearly mentioning:

• Whether M.Sc. by Coursework or M.Sc. by Research is chosen
• Order of preference (at least 3) from the departmental focus research areas
• If the student is opting for M.Sc. by Research, the Preference Form must also be signedby a potential supervisor.

M.Sc. by Coursework

The students opting for M.Sc. by coursework are required to pass any two (2) of the following courses:

• Core courses not already taken
• Specialization courses not already taken
• Courses from any other area of specialization
• Additional postgraduate courses

In addition, the students are required to undertake a non-credit, term project in their final semester.

M.Sc. by Research

The students opting for M.Sc. by Research are required to undertake a supervised research project.

There are 60 seats for masters’ students and for PhD students the department has no limit, in fact encourages the PhD students. Yearly break down of graduate students and average student to faculty ratio is presented below;
