Chemical Engineering with Chemistry BEng(Hons)/MEng

BEng(Hons)/MEng

Your course

Chemical engineering can be viewed as the most applied of the applied sciences, and with opportunities to make a difference in the world. Chemical engineers transform the visions of chemists and biochemists into industrial-scale reality, to make the benefits of new products and processes available to the world. Our Chemical Engineering with Chemistry BEng(Hons)/MEng courses, provide in-depth coverage of modern, industry-relevant chemical engineering material from the fundamentals through to process design. Both courses are strong on chemistry and provide extra depth in organic chemistry, on top of physical and inorganic chemistry, helping you to distinguish yourself in the employment market with employers who want chemical engineers who also understand the chemistry of the processes they are dealing with. Our Chemical Engineering with Chemistry MEng course offers the extra breadth and depth of study and research associated with Master’s level courses. Our teaching staff are educated to doctoral level in their respective subject areas and have expertise in specialist areas of chemistry and chemical engineering, as well as recognised higher education teaching qualifications and awards for excellent teaching. You’ll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience using scientific instrumentation in our modern chemical sciences labs and pilot-scale rigs in our dedicated chemical engineering labs. In the third year of your course, you’ll also have the chance to benefit from a work placement to see your subject in action and gain relevant real-world experience to enhance your future employment prospects.

Example modules

• Organic Chemistry • Chemical Engineering Design • Sustainable Industrial Systems • Safety Engineering and Process Control • Recent Advances in Chemical

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. These are new courses and therefore there are no graduates as yet. However 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.**
