The Department of Chemical Engineering offers several academic programs for post graduate studies. These include Dual Degree Masters, M. Tech., PhD, and an MS (Research).
The Department offers several fields of study for post graduate studies. These fields include traditional fields of chemical engineering (like, fluid mechanics, chemical reaction engineering) or newer areas of research where chemical engineers have made important contributions (like, bioengineering, sustainability). Research is often done with collaboration with faculty from other Departments/Centers at IIT Bombay. This structure allows graduate students to take full advantage of IIT's unique interdisciplinary environment and enables students to pursue an individualized plan of study.
The field of chemical engineering offers advanced degree programs to prepare its students for research and technical careers in industry, academia and government. The program strikes a balance between the science of chemical engineering and its implementation through synthesis -- a blend that provides a strong base in the discipline's fundamentals while developing in its students the skills to apply these fundamentals to significant engineering problems.
