MSc in Safety loss and prevention or MSc in chemical engineering
MSc in Safety loss and prevention or MSc in chemical engineering
(OP)
I have been offered two great MSc courses and I don't know which one to choose. One is an MSc in process safety from Sheffield university and the other is an MSc in pure chemical engineering from UCL. I feel that I will enjoy the course at sheffield as its in something I like, I don't mind the course from UCL but I feel that it will open up more avenues career-wise and its easier to eventually go into management from it.
What are your views and which option would you pick?
thanks

Generally, try to find out about the reputation of the teaching staff. Are you going to get great minds but lousy teachers? If that is the case, is it worth it to you to be exposed to the cutting edge? How about potential research projects/supervisors?
If you want to get chartered in the UK, check with the institutions. The Sheffield course accreditation appears to have expired last year, which might make things somewhat harder. The MSc course appears to have two streams. One (including a design project) plus an accredited chem eng bachelors gets you the academic qualification for charterd; the second, for non-chem eng bachelors counts as equivalent to a BEng for getting towards chartered. The value of CEng is of course rather variable between companies.
