What you will study: The modern world relies on chemical engineers to develop and design processes that efficiently produce useful products, manage resources like water and energy, ensure health and safety, and protect the environment. Our BEng and MEng Chemical and Petroleum Engineering courses align with current industry issues. You’ll study traditional chemical engineering topics with multidisciplinary design projects, explore in-depth petrochemical modules and crucial sustainability themes that will further your understanding of environmental responsibility. You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The MEng builds on the BEng with a masters year, known as an integrated masters and is a direct route to becoming a chartered engineer. Students on our MEng may take part in a multidisciplinary project working with other engineering students across the University. Professional recognitionBEng (Hons) - Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. MEng - Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) for the purpose of fully meeting the educational requirement for Chartered Chemical Engineer. Personal and professional skills programmeWe recognise chemical engineers need a wide range of skills in addition to technical proficiency to perform to the highest level. We also recognise experience is the main driving force in developing these skills. Chemical engineers often work in teams to solve problems. They adopt leadership roles and are required to be effective communicators. Our personal and professional skills programme is designed to give you a head-start in developing in these areas. Employers see the personal development skills our courses provide as giving you ‘something extra’ in addition to your technical competence. Foundation yearIf you don’t meet our entry requirements, you might still be able to apply for this degree with an Engineering and Physical Sciences Foundation Year. This is an extra year of study to develop your skills and make it easier for you to get started at university. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree. To see what modules you’ll be studying, refer to the foundation tab in the 'Course structure' section.
