Nellya Serikova
MSc Advanced Chemical Engineering with IT and Management
My first degree was a BEng in Chemical Technology of Organics, which I studied at the Kazakh-British Technical University in Kazakhstan. I decided to get a higher degree in order to gain new experiences in Chemical Engineering and to learn new ways of working, whilst developing my skills.
I chose Loughborough University, as it has a good reputation in the UK especially for Chemical Engineering and also offers a unique course - Advanced Chemical Engineering with IT and Management. The course taught me a lot about computational methods in Chemical Engineering and engineering management areas as well.
The biggest advantage of postgraduate study is gaining a higher qualification, which should make you more employable. I am coming to the end of my Masters now and I am hoping to get a job as a Chemical Engineer in the oil and gas industry.
Mohammed Misbahu
MSc Advanced Process Engineering
My name is Mohammed Misbahu and I come from Nigeria. My degree background is in Applied Chemistry from Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto, Nigeria.
I chose Loughborough based on its academic track record as one of UK’s foremost universities and I am happy that I was not disappointed. Although the MSc in Advanced Process Engineering is a very intensive and demanding course, the calibre of teachers that guided us through it and the available state-of-art learning facilities in the department made every bit of the time spent here challenging and interesting. This has lead to my interest in pursuing a PhD programme within the Department.
The course has allowed me to acquire knowledge in Process Engineering principles and their applications in modern industries. I have no doubt that it is a major boost to my prospective career in the oil and gas industries.
