📖Program Curriculum
For an MSc award you must successfully complete 120 credits of taught modules and a 60-credit master's research project.
You select your master’s research projects from titles suggested by either industry or our academic staff, but you may also, with your supervisor’s agreement, suggest your own titles.
Examples of past MSc research projects include:
a pilot plant process design for CO2 utilisation
a quantitative analysis of reservoir rocks using pore-scale imaging
a study of the physical properties of biochar as a tool for environmental management
an experimental investigation of CO2 capture through natural clay minerals
applying biopolymer and bio-surfactant in oil and gas extraction
developing a business case for hydrogen geological storage
investigating physical and chemical properties of CO2/ROCK interaction during CO2 injection into saline formation
modelling nanoparticle mobility in porous media.
