The Postgraduate Diploma in Chemical Engineering at the University of Limerick is designed for graduates with primary degrees in science or engineering disciplines who aspire to build a career in the dynamic process or pharmaceutical industries. This programme provides you with a robust understanding of chemical engineering's fundamental principles and practical experience in designing and operating chemical processes. It represents an exceptional opportunity to gain a recognised qualification in the chemical engineering profession through intensive, focused study.
You will engage in full-time, on-campus learning over one year, immersing yourself in core subjects such as fluid mechanics, heat transfer, reaction engineering, and separations. The curriculum also includes advanced topics like process safety, control, and instrumentation, alongside a significant chemical engineering design project. This hands-on approach, incorporating real-world engineering challenges, will equip you with the essential skills and knowledge to pursue roles in process design, plant operation, and pharmaceutical development upon graduation.
