Study with us
third-year entry: students start at the equivalent to Year 3 of the full-time course
the BEng honours component can be completed in three years and the subsequent MEng in one to two years
our top graduates reach a starting salary of £35,000
Accreditation
Accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
Why this course?
If you wish to study for an MEng in Chemical Engineering you must first complete the three year BEng (Honours) degree. The MEng is considered to be an integrated first degree made up of the BEng curriculum and an additional year of full-time study (two years by part-time distance learning).

The MEng year(s) can be completed in one of two ways:

you attend full-time classes for 12 weeks (semester 1) then return to your workplace to complete the final project (semester 2)
a part-time distance learning route, spread over two years, with the work project taking place in Year 2
The Department of Chemical & Process Engineering is one of the largest such departments in the UK. We've strong links with employers worldwide and we're particularly pleased with our graduates’ excellent record of achievement.
Assessment
Assessment is normally by written assignment and exam although some modules will require a project report or practical piece of work to be completed in place of an exam.

The final year of the MEng includes a major project which is intended to be completed in your own workplace.
