KBC proudly announces our partnership with the University of Surrey to offer the MSc Petroleum Downstream Technology. Recent pressures within the industry to improve the efficiency of all processes combined with a worldwide shortage of engineers with relevant skills, has led to the creation of this qualification. The strength of the programme stems from the synergistic collaboration between the University of Surrey and KBC combining the University of Surrey's academic excellence in teaching and research, with KBC's expertise and industry knowledge.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This programme is designed to suit professionals already working in refining or downstream processing, who aspire to develop the high-level specific knowledge required by their employers. It has been specifically tailored to provide individuals with the necessary technical, economic and business skills, augmented by skills in leadership and management.

A degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or the equivalent, is the typical entry requirement.

PROGRAMME LENGTH

All modules have been specifically designed to develop the knowledge and understanding necessary to become an effective leader and decision-maker in the petrochemical, refining, and downstream process industries. Sign up for as little or as much training as you like – a single course, a postgraduate certificate or diploma, or work toward a full masters degree.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
The full programme comprises eight taught modules and a research project. Each taught module will involve preparatory reading, attendance at the University for five days of tuition and a work-based assignment to be submitted for assessment post-tuition.

The research project would normally be conducted at the company and would be directly relevant to the employer's business, whilst also meeting the University's standards for an MSc thesis. All work-based information will remain confidential
