Our BEng and MEng courses combine core principles with specialist modules, design projects, equipment design and research relating to energy and petrochemicals.

Taught by prize-winning academics and experienced former industrialists, you’ll gain practical experience working on a small chemicals plant in our newly refurbished laboratory facilities. This helps prepare you for a wide range of fulfilling careers in the global energy sector.

You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The MEng builds on the BEng course with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification. You may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies. 

Demand for graduates in the oil and gas sectors and petrochemicals is expected to remain strong. New developments in the sector include:

• Adaption of refineries to use more of the barrel as petrochemical feedstock
• Decommissioning of exhausted offshore facilities
• Liquefied natural gas projects
• Marginal reservoirs, especially gas
• New feedstocks for petrochemical plants.
