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) course is accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) (https://www.icheme.org/education/universities-accredit-your-degree/)
* Like the Chemical Engineering BEng(Hons) course, it provides in-depth coverage of modern, industry-relevant chemical engineering material from the fundamentals through to process design.
* Both courses are strong on chemistry, however the Chemical Engineering with Chemistry BEng(Hons) course provides 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 course is also strong on systems thinking and practical skills, as well as emphasising and nurturing transferable and employability skills.
* 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. So, if you’re looking for a career in oil, fine chemicals, materials, food, pharmaceutical and many other industries, this could be just the course for you.
Professional links and accreditation:
During your studies you can become a student member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (https://www.icheme.org/membership/membership-grades/student-member/), and will be automatically transferred to an Associate Member (AMIChemE) on graduation.
The course is accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) (https://www.icheme.org/education/universities-accredit-your-degree/) and partially meets the academic requirements for becoming a Chartered Chemical Engineer following suitable industrial experience.
This accreditation is reviewed on a regular basis.
