Studying in Hull puts you at the heart of the chemical engineering industry, with big names like BP, Smith+Nephew and INEOS on our doorstep. You’ll train to apply science to the processes used to change materials into useful products: food and drink, fertilisers, pharmaceuticals, energy and fuel.Boost your employability by training at CATCH, the £12m, internationally recognised training facility for the Centre for Assessment of Technical Competency Humber. You’ll experience life as a chemical engineer, using equipment and identifying hazards. Like all our Engineering courses, Chemical Engineering shares a common first year, which means you can choose to switch to a different pathway in your second year. It also offers a four-year Integrated Masters (MEng) option. This lets you study a year at postgraduate level on top of your degree.


Why study at Hull?

- 1st in the UK: We’re rated first in the UK for Value Added in The Guardian’s University Rankings 2024, and second for Student Experience by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024. - You’re entering Chartered territory: Our degree is accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), and puts you on the pathway to Chartered Engineer status.- High-tech facilities at the heart of UK industry: Take advantage of our virtual control room, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis labs, located in the geographical home of 350+ engineering and process companies.


Where could this take me?

Industry giants sponsor our third-year design project – think Croda, Cristal and BP Acetyls – putting you on their recruitment radar. You’ll be learning in Britain’s energy estuary, and graduates have taken up roles with Associated British Foods, Siemens, Croda and INEOS. Thanks to our accreditations, you can also build your network and employability with free membership of IChemE and the Energy Institute.
