Our courses prepare students for professional careers in the process industries. As well as studying the principles of chemical engineering and processing technologies, you will learn how to understand, solve and manage technical problems, critically analyse data and develop strong teamwork and communication skills.
Year 1
Areas studied include heat transfer, mass and energy balances, thermodynamics, chemical and biological process, and fluid dynamics.
Year 2
Areas studied include reaction engineering, particle technology, separation processes, instrumentation and control, process safety, plant and systems engineering, and a group design project.
Optional placement/study abroad year
Optional industrial placement or overseas study.
Year 3 (BEng)
Areas studied include team and individual process design projects, chemical process control, transfer processes, project management, and pollution control, business systems, entrepreneurship and innovation, biochemical engineering and data analysis.
Years 3 and 4 (MEng)
In addition to topics studied in the BEng course, MEng students also undertake a research or industry project; options include clean energy and sustainability, chemical product design, downstream processing and process intensification.
