What you will study: Our courses combine traditional chemical engineering topics with multidisciplinary design and biochemical engineering. Course content addresses major industry challenges and issues including sustainability, clean methods of production, waste management and energy generation. 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 the 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. 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 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.
