Overview

Chemical Engineering - Sustainable Chemical Engineering from Stellenbosch University programme equips graduates with both the technical expertise and managerial understanding needed to advance sustainable chemical engineering projects.

Key facts

At Stellenbosch University, we offer a fully research-based Master’s degree programme in Chemical Engineering. The MEng research degree programme typically requires full-time study and research under the guidance of a supervisor(s) over 18-24 months. Part-time candidates working in the industry are also considered, with enrolment extending over approximately three to four years.

For this NQF level 9 programme, students enrol in a single 180-credit module. No additional taught modules are mandatory, although students may take extra modules with their supervisor’s permission. Full-time resident students participate in an in-house research methodology module at the start of the academic year, which is attended in person at the department. Additionally, students register for a 1-credit module in their first year focused on professional communication and avoiding plagiarism (ProfCom 871). This self-paced learning module is completed via our online learning platform, SUNLearn.
