Designed to keep up-to-date with current chemical engineering issues, our courses combine traditional chemical engineering topics with multidisciplinary design, biochemical engineering and sustainability.

You’ll be taught by prize-winning academics and you’ll develop a strong base of knowledge that’s relevant across the chemical and petrochemical industries. You’ll directly apply this knowledge to design your own chemical process as a group in your third year.

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. Students on our MEng course may take part in a multidisciplinary project, which sees them working together with other engineers across the University.

Demand for graduates with the specific skills and knowledge gained on our specialised courses is high, especially within modern, high growth sectors including: 

• Cosmetics
• Energy
• Food
• Healthcare
• Pharmaceuticals
• Water and waste management.
