Manchester MS'c Advanced Process Design for Energy and the Environment

[jeyx]

Dear All,

I've got a non-accredited bachelor degree from an eastern European university. I'm considering applying to MS'c programme "Advanced Process Design for Energy and the Environment" in the University of Manchester. Currently, I've got 3 years of process engineering experience. How do you think this degree can help me with obtaining the IChemE Chartered engineer status and further career progress?

This degree has a lot of process modelling studies as Hysys, AspenPlus, HTRI and so on? How much this knowledge is compared with the way the nowadays' process engineering jobs?

Appreciate your advises,
Sorry if it's a bit beyond of the forum's agenda,
Jeyx

Speak to the IChemE, and find out. I doubt if this MSc will count on it's own as an accredited degree, but combined with your first degree it may do, so you won't have to do the Engineering Council's exams.

The other approach may be to join one of the smaller Engineering Institutions that is relevant to you - they are able to consider things on a case-by-case basis (the larger institutes like the IChemE, IEE and IMechE often won't) in order to be Chartered. I did- swapping from the IMechE to the Institute of Mining who were happy to make me Chartered with a non accredited BSc (in Geology) and an MSc in Petroleum Engineering, coupled with a few year's Petroleum/ Drilling Engineering experience, when the IMechE just told me to do the Engineering Council's exams.
