Separation Processes II
This module builds on years 1 and 2 studies of traditional separation processes, extending these to multi-component systems. Short-cut methods are described. The importance of non-ideal behaviour is highlighted in descriptions of azeotropic and extractive distillation. The discussion of absorption is extended to include chemical reactions, and basic knowledge of adsorption and ion exchange separation processes is covered in this module.

Engineering Management
The goal of this course is to provide the skills for scientists and engineers to meet the challenges of their future careers, whether they be in academia, industry, or as an entrepreneur.
With respect to human resources, the course will cover the basic concept of entrepreneurship before breaking down the essential elements of a business plan. The course will give the more entrepreneurial students guidance about how to go about commercialising their ideas and the less entrepreneurial students an understanding of what makes some of their colleagues tick. The module guides the student through the complexities of financial and human resource management and encourages students to develop their own business plans. Students will also be introduced to the subject area of ethics within business.

Water and Wastewater Engineering
This module aims to deliver a working knowledge of water and wastewater treatment processes. The module will cover various physical, chemical and biological unit operations commonly used in the treatment of water and wastewater. This module will particularly emphasise the design and operational issues related to these unit operations. Moreover, the module will cover regulatory aspects related to water quality and requirements for treatments of drinking water to be fit for human consumption and of wastewater to be disposed of safely in the aquatic environment.

Advanced Water Processing
This module provides a comprehensive grounding in water engineering, covering both desalination and water/wastewater treatment processes. This module introduces the physical, chemical, and biological unit operations commonly employed in the treatment of water and wastewater, with particular emphasis on their design, operation, and performance. Alongside this, students will examine the scientific, technical, and societal importance of desalination and related separation processes, with attention to their economic and environmental impacts.
Regulatory aspects of water quality are also considered, including the requirements for drinking water to meet human health standards and for wastewater to be treated safely before discharge to the aquatic environment. By integrating desalination with wider water treatment technologies, the module equips students with the knowledge and design skills required to address global challenges in sustainable water resource management.
