Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering5-Year Integrated ME ProgrammeWhat is Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering?Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering involves the transformation of matter and energy into products and services. More specifically, it addresses the design and operation of facilities needed to achieve this transformation in a technically, economically and environmentally acceptable manner.
Why study Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering at UCD?For more than 60 years, UCD has led the way in the design and delivery of innovative, internationally-recognised programmes in Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering. Our graduates are amongst the best-paid engineering professionals, sought after for employment in sectors from chemical to (bio)pharmaceutical and from energy to consultancy and design. UCD offers taught and research Masters and PhD opportunities, and our graduates also enter Masters and PhD programmes in leading international universities.
5-Year Integrated ME ProgrammeUCD has now introduced the first 5-year Integrated Masters programme in Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering in Ireland. This programme
has been designed to reflect the changing skills needs of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineers in global industries, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food, energy, advanced materials and ICT.
5-Year Integrated ME Programme ContentThe ME programme, which is structured to address the most up-to-date theoretical and conceptual aspects, alongside practical and industrial elements of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering practice, includes extensive project work in both design and research, along with significant Professional Work Experience (PWE). PWE placements, of 6-8 months in duration, commence in Jan/Feb of Year 4 (starting in Jan 2018). Where a company can host a research project, this placement may be extended to 12 months (Jan-Dec).
The programme will prepare graduates for careers in a wide range of industries, while also offering the opportunity to work alongside leading researchers in world-class laboratories. The School works closely with its industrial advisors and adjunct staff to ensure the programme meets the highest international standards in the teaching and training of Chemical & Bioprocess Engineers.
The 5-Year Integrated ME programme is designed to meet the accreditation requirements of both Engineers Ireland and the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE).
