Bachelor of Engineering [B.Eng] [Chemical Engineering] From University of Huddersfield

The research activities within the Department are supported by state of the art analytical and computer facilities.

Upon acceptance to a programme, students normally register initially for an MPhil, and at the end of the first year, the student is examined byÊviva voceÊfor consideration for transfer to PhD. Upon completion of the Doctoral training, students are ideally equipped to work in an academic or industrial research environment.

The programme is designed collaboratively between four of our departments, offering a variety of choice:

• Medway School of Pharmacy
• Natural Resources Institute (NRI)
• Life and Sports Science

• Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Environmental Science.

Recent research project topics include:

• Solar energy conversion
• Synthesis of biologically active molecules
• Fragment-based drug discovery
• In situ monitoring of chemical reactions
• Treatment of contaminated soils by accelerated carbonation
• Production of novel silicate-based sorbents
• Integrated production of biodiesel from oilseed rape
• Pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases
• Bioremediation and composting technologies
• Expert cognition and training.
