BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering

This course is about the design and operation of processes for making products such as fuels, medicines, plastics, food and materials for high technology industries. You’ll also learn about the production and use of energy. We give significant emphasis to learning through practical experience. You’ll develop practical skills and build up experience through lab work, projects and open-ended problem solving. Our pilot plant gives you the chance to apply what you learn in lectures and labs on larger scale process equipment through hands-on experimentation. This unique facility is designed to prepare you for the challenges of industry. In your third year you’ll take part in a process design project, which will give you the design skills you need to succeed as a chemical engineer. This course will develop your technical and research skills so that you can go on to the career of your choice.
