Master of Gas Processing Engineering Systems
Course Overview
The Master of Gas Processing Engineering Systems is a UK Level 7 postgraduate qualification delivered over 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time across on-campus, online and distance routes. The programme concentrates on the engineered systems that turn raw natural gas into sales gas, LPG, condensate and liquefaction feed at UK and international plants, and it is written in step with IChemE and CILT operating standards used across the UK energy sector. Applicants join weekly seminars run by practising engineers, HSE specialists and energy economists working in UK midstream, refining, terminal and logistics functions across operators and service firms.
By graduation, you will be producing process flow analyses, contributing to integrity plans and framing terminal throughput reports for senior audiences. You finish with a substantial dissertation, capstone or sponsor consulting project, reflecting research-informed senior practice, with a dissertation or sponsor consulting piece as the closing artefact, and ready to step into a research-informed postgraduate qualification and dissertation on the record. The Master of Gas Processing Engineering Systems is calibrated to UK employer demand and reviewed each intake against sector signals from operators, service firms and professional bodies.
