Postgraduate Programs
|
Two different types of postgraduate programs (MEng, MSc & PhD) are available at FChE. There are the Coursework and the Research based postgraduate programs.

Coursework based programs
 |
In the coursework (or taught course) based programs, candidates (i.e. students) are required to sit for and complete various advance courses/subjects related to the chemical engineering field. Total number of courses/subjects must at least equivalent to 40 credit hours. Each subjects normally carries 2 or 3 credit hours and evaluated via written examinations and assignments. It is also imperative that the student achieve a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 3.0 as their final academic grade. Else, the student may need to repeat or undergo additional courses to raise their academic CGPA before graduation. Additionally, students must submit a thesis (i.e. a short term project that carries between 8 to 20 credit hours) which normally done in the last two semesters. The project will be assessed through a reseach proposal seminar, thesis (final project report) and an oral examinaton. |

Programmes offered include:
• M.Eng. in Chemical Engineering • M.Sc. in Bioprocess Engineering • M.Sc. in Process Plant Management |
Research based programs
 |
In the research based programs, candidates (i.e. students) are required to complete a research project and submit a thesis (i.e. the final project report consisting of details about research objectives, problem statement, research methodlogy, results, data interpretation and discussions). Each research work must be supervised by the faculty member. Students will be given the option to either search for their own research project/supervisor or request FChE graduate studies office to appoint a supervisor. In each research work, emphasis will be on knowledge contribution (i.e. novel research work particularly for PhD candidates) and/or application of knowledge. Most research projects are associated with chemical engineering field. Students progress will be closely monitored via a research progress report which is normally submitted at the end of each semester. Additionally, students may also have to sit for a couple of short courses on research methodology and general knowledge. The degree will be awarded in accordance to the students performance in their oral examination (viva voce) of their thesis in which students are required to defence their research project before examiners appointed by the Faculty. |
