This course has been developed to equip you with a broad range of knowledge and skills to meet the needs of the chemical and biochemical industry. The course is internationally accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers. Throughout your studies, you’ll have access to a new, modern laboratory with equipment and rigs for your experimental work. The latest industry standard engineering software packages are available for you to use in the purpose-built computer laboratories. Our BEng chemical engineering course can be studied full-time over three years, or four years with a placement year. We encourage the placement year option because time spent in industry prepares you for the world of work and you’ll benefit from a year’s professional experience when you graduate. If you opt for the placement year, you could find yourself making a difference in the real world working in energy, pharmaceutical or consumer goods. Brunel’s pioneering chemical engineering courses have been designed in close collaboration with the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) accreditation body to prepare you for an exciting and rewarding career in one of the fastest growing engineering disciplines.
