How to prepare for MSc Advanced Chemical Engineering as a straight chemistry grad?

Hi,

Just looking for some guidance on how to prepare for my chemical engineering masters? My undergrad was in chemistry and it has been 3 years since I graduated so I definitely need to brush up on a few things! Can anyone recommend where I should start?

Also, wondering if anyone by any chance has a rough idea of what the timetable would look like for this course, specifically for the University of Strathclyde?

Thanks

Ensure you're competent with engineering maths - there are lots of books and YouTube channels on this; they all cover essentially the same content because the same maths is used throughout engineering. You should also ensure you're competent with core chemical engineering topics such as thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, separation, reactions, process control, etc.
