The rapid rise in the world’s population has caused concerns over sustainable development. This poses major challenges for the future of our planet and society. Chemical engineers develop unique processes and have the practical and problem-solving skills to meet many of these challenges. Our innovative Chemical Engineering degrees have been developed to equip you with a broad range of transferable knowledge and skills to meet the needs of the chemical and biochemical industry. Our courses have been developed according to the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) accreditation guidelines. This requires innovative approaches to meet the 21st-century demands from chemical engineers, and that’s what we’re committed to delivering at Brunel.

Throughout your studies, you’ll have access to our well-equipped, modern laboratory, with equipment and rigs for your experimental work. The latest industry standard engineering software packages are available for you to use in our purpose-built computer laboratories. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in our Brunel Engineers event – an annual exhibition that showcases our engineering talent. It’s a great way for you to network with key engineering professionals and show them the work you have produced during your studies.

Careers and your future

In addition to the high-quality teaching, we’ll encourage you to take the placement year option. This time in the industry provides you with invaluable professional experience.

Chemical engineers play a key role in many industries. They’re widely employed in the energy sector, developing power plants and renewables, oil and gas, including refineries and petrochemical, a variety of manufacturing industries, biotechnology, water and wastewater treatment plants, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and food processing to name a few. You could land a role in design, operation, manufacture and production, project management, process safety, health and the environment, consulting, or research and development.

Jeremy Chemical Engineering MEng

I chose to study Chemical Engineering at Brunel because the course has been developed closely with the Institution of Chemical Engineers, so I knew it would be to a high standard. The highlight so far has been the combined engineering start to the course, as it gives you really useful knowledge of the wider engineering world that other universities don’t offer.
