Overview
Chemical engineers design, optimise, and manage the processes that turn raw materials into products society relies on. Their expertise helps ensure natural resources are used sustainably and that by ‑ products are handled safely and responsibly. Our BEng (Hons)/ MEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering provides expert training in modern process engineering, helping you develop analytical and problem-solving skills essential for applying engineering principles in real ‑ world industries. Throughout the programme, you will combine theory with hands-on experience, progressing from from laboratory work to pilot-plant operations, process simulation, and design projects. With access to our chemical engineering pilot plant, you will gain valuable experience to operate pilot-scale process units, bridging laboratory studies with industrial site visits that are embedded within the curriculum. Graduates develop the skills needed for careers across sectors including chemicals, energy, water and wastewater, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, advanced materials, and consultancy, as well as emerging fields such clean energy and biotechnology.
