Career prospects

The degree is designed to develop future leaders and decision makers in the growing international energy business.  Graduates may expect to forge careers in established energy generation and transmission companies (for instance in the UK, National Grid, Scottish and Southern Energy, etc.), energy consultancy businesses, traditional oil, gas and construction companies who are moving rapidly into renewables, or fresh new companies in the wind, marine, solar or biomass sectors. Scotland, in particular, has seen great expansion in sustainable energy businesses in the last decade, with some of the best worldwide potential for wind, wave and tidal generation.

Master in Chemical Engineering graduates have a wide array of career prospects across various industries such as energy, food, pharmaceuticals, and technology, offering diverse opportunities for specialization and advancement. The field is known for its dynamic nature, with the potential to contribute to innovative solutions and sustainable practices. Chemical engineers with a master’s degree often have an advantage in the job market due to their advanced knowledge and specialized skills.

Graduates of this programme have gone on to work for companies such as Town Rock Energy, Renewables First and Cognolink. Positions include Geothermal Energy Engineer, Research Analyst, Hydropower Engineer and Research Assistant.
