BEng(Hons)/MEng

Your course

Our Chemical Engineering BEng(Hons) and MEng courses provide in-depth coverage of modern, industry-relevant chemical engineering material from the basics of chemical engineering and physical chemistry to the finer points of advanced mass transfer and reaction engineering. Supported by experienced doctoral level academics, you’ll learn through a mix of lectures, tutorials, workshops and practical lab sessions. Underpinning all of our teaching is an emphasis on transferable skills, so whether you’re getting to grips with instruments in the lab, using industry-specific software packages or working on a group presentation, there’s a whole range of opportunities to acquire hands-on experience and maximise your employability. The MEng course offers the extra breadth and depth of study and research associated with Master’s level courses. Both courses offer a placement in Year 3, to give you the opportunity to put your knowledge into practice and provide a valuable insight into real world chemical engineering, helping to give you the edge when you graduate.

Example modules

• Physical Chemistry • Chemical Engineering Design • Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow • Sustainable Industrial Systems • Advanced Mass Transfer and Reaction Engineering • Advanced Process Development (MEng only)

Your future

As a graduate of one of these courses, you may consider a career in a wide range of areas, including chemical manufacturing, environmental consultancy, nuclear engineering, scale-up and plant design, process plant trouble shooting, oil and gas, water, energy, food, research and development, patent law and teaching. Previous graduates from our courses in the subject area of Chemical Engineering have gone on to work in roles such as Process Engineer at Spirit Energy, Process Operator at Dow, Process Engineer at Sterling Pharma Solutions, Safety Engineer at BAE Systems, Drilling Fluids Engineer at Halliburton, Junior Process Engineer at Manrochem Ltd, Radiological Safety Assessor at National Nuclear Laboratory and Graduate Functional Safety Engineer at 6 Engineering Ltd.**
