One of the central themes of contemporary Chemical Engineering is the synthesis and design of novel functional materials and molecular devices for applications in a broad range of chemical and electronic systems. The latter include chemical and optical sensors, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, nano-particulates and powders, selective nano-membranes, photovoltaics and catalysts for a very broad variety of chemical and photochemical transformations of materials and energy. <br><br>This master's is offered by the UCD School of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering to address the growth in demand for an advanced degree spanning the development and design of process technologies associated with the above fields of interest. The programme is designed for graduates of Chemical or Mechanical Engineering who wish to obtain an advanced qualification in interfacial process technologies evolving from recent advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology. <br><br>Top International Ranking: The UCD School of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering is the oldest and largest degree-granting school of its type in Ireland, it is a highly research-intensive School holding 101-150 in the QS World Subject Rankings and Top 6 in Ireland/UK Employer's and Research rankings.
