**Foundation courses**
A foundation year can develop your skills and make it easier to get started at university. It is an extra year of study at the start of your course that leads in to a full degree programme. It’s a great option if:
You don’t have the grades for a full degree course
You have non-traditional qualifications or experience
You’re starting university after some time away from education
You’re looking for more support during the transition into university study.
**Life as a foundation year student**
During a foundation year you’ll learn about your chosen subject, develop your study skills and get used to university life. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree course.
As a foundation year student, you’ll be a full student of the University and part of our community. You’ll have access to all our campus facilities and support.
**Why choose this course**
Our BEng and MEng Chemical Engineering courses have been developed in consultation with industry.
They’ll equip you with the technical skills and problem-solving mindset required to tackle real-world engineering challenges and prepare you for a fulfilling career in the chemical and process industries.
Surrey gives you the chance to experience the complete chemical engineering process. Our new £1.7million chemical engineering facility includes a fully operational pilot process plant, which you’ll use during your course and operate as part of a team in your third year.
**What you will study**
Designed to keep up-to-date with current chemical engineering issues, our courses combine traditional chemical engineering topics with multidisciplinary design, biochemical engineering and sustainability.
You’ll be taught by prize-winning academics and you’ll develop a strong base of knowledge that’s relevant across the chemical and petrochemical industries. You’ll directly apply this knowledge to design your own chemical process as a group in your third year.
You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The MEng builds on the BEng course with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification. Students on our MEng course may take part in a multidisciplinary project, which sees them working together with other engineers across the University.
Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies.
