Examination in Advanced Chemical Engineering Practice for the Degree of Master of Philosophy

On the recommendation of the Chemical Engineering Syndicate and the Faculty Board of Engineering, the General Board and the Board of Graduate Studies have approved Advanced Chemical Engineering Practice as a subject for further study and training in research for the M.Phil. Degree (one-year course), with effect from 1 October 2003. The course will be taught jointly with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the General Board and the Board of Graduate Studies have approved the proposal that the first part of the course (which will include the whole of the Cambridge Michaelmas Term) should be taught and examined at MIT. The Board of Graduate Studies have agreed that candidates for the examination will be required to pay the full University Composition Fee for the course.

Special regulations for the examination in the subject have been approved as follows:

Advanced Chemical Engineering Practice

1. The scheme of examination for the one-year course of study in Advanced Chemical Engineering Practice for the degree of Master of Philosophy shall consist of:

(a)at least ten modules selected from a list of mandatory and optional modules published by the Degree Committee for the Faculty of Engineering not later than the end of the Easter Term of the academical year preceding that in which the examination is to be held, provided that the Degree Committee shall have power to give notice of additional optional modules not later than the end of the Michaelmas Term;
(b)a thesis of not more than 10,000 words in length, on a topic approved by the Degree Committee;
