Begin your journey towards a challenging yet rewarding career in chemical engineering by studying at the subject's birthplace: Manchester.In the four-year Chemical Engineering MEng degree you will not only learn the fundamentals of this key subject; you'll also have the opportunity to specialise in an advanced area of your choosing - including energy, separation and modelling - so you can dig even deeper into the theme that interests you most. The fourth year also allows you to carry out a research project and write a dissertation in a specific area.At Manchester, all of our programmes are accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), meaning your education will equip you to graduate with an industrially approved degree. There will be emphasis on the technical aspects of chemical engineering, and these revolve around managing the behaviour of materials and chemical reactions, as well as predicting and manipulating compositions, flows, temperatures, and pressures of solids, liquids and gases.This is balanced with process safety and sustainability, which are inherent to all of our programmes. The latter is heavily embedded within your third-year design project. Here, you will undertake an open-ended team project to design a complete production process. Examples have included the sustainable production of chemicals such as propylene oxide and ethylene glycol from waste, and our design teams have won more IChemE Macnab-Lacey Prize for their efforts than any other university.
