Masters in Chemical and Process Engineering

    I've just graduated with a BSc in Chemistry and managed to get a job for myself in the Pharmaceutical Industry.

    Long term, however, I'm seriously considering doing an MEng conversion course in Chemical and Process Engineering. I'd have to go to the UK to do this.

    I have a few questions about this though:

    One of the only areas of my course that I found really interesting was in the nanoscience/materials side of things, especially related to semiconductor and chip manufacture. Would a qualifaction in Chemical/Process engineering allow me to get into that sort of work? i.e the design and manufacture of surfaces and substrates for chip and semiconductors?

    Or would a masters in materials science be a better plan? I'm pretty sure I'd prefer an industry role to pure research, and I'd like to get the mathematical grounding that an engineering qualifaction would provide.

    Any help appreciated.
