Chemical engineering is embedded in so many different sectors, and a Chemical Engineering MEng from Sheffield sets you on the path to become a highly sought-after specialist.Your learning will revolve around practical experience: lab work, projects and open-ended problem-solving of the kind you will find the real world. In The Diamond’s state-of-the-art pilot plant, you’ll apply what you learn by experimenting with large-scale processes. In fact, hands-on experience of using industry-standard equipment is integrated throughout the course, along with digital manufacturing skills, including computer modelling.Along with a fascinating variety of core and optional modules, you’ll have the chance to choose a specialism eg energy, pharmaceutical or biological engineering. And in your third year, you'll take part in a process design project, bringing together your learning to create a real-world process in its entirety. In your fourth year, you’ll undertake an independent research project on genuinely cutting edge research in a field of your choice.
Why study this course?-
Pursue your dream career- we’ve embedded employability throughout our course, and our dedicated chemical engineering employability team runs a careers and employability conference every year. Previous speakers have come from companies including Nestlé, Pepsico, GTC, and Reckitt.-
