Course Summary

The BEng (Hons) in Chemical Engineering is shaped by the ongoing needs of industry, while focusing on the traditional disciplines of oil, gas and petrochemical production. You’ll get the knowledge and hands-on experience you need to operate in a range of industry sectors, learning in a research-informed, multidisciplinary environment. Your studies will give you a deep understanding of fundamental and advanced technical principles such as: - Fluid mechanics - Thermodynamics - Mass and heat transfer - Chemical reactions - Process control - Safety, health and environment You’ll also gain practical experience with analytical tools, and the competencies required to apply this knowledge in industry. Chemical Engineering at Bradford has extensive links to industry. Our Lecturers are actively working on research projects with industry, with recent research projects linked to leading pharmaceutical, oil, gas, petrochemical and advanced material engineering companies. **Professional Accreditation** This course is accredited by the IChemE. The accreditation will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC. **Rankings** Chemical Engineering at the University of Bradford is ranked 5th in the UK in the Guardian University League Table 2021. Chemical Engineering received 94% overall satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2017.

Course Details – Assessment Method

Most modules use a mixture of formal lectures, practical lab sessions, tutorials and seminars. Some modules involve supervised group work, usually with an assigned academic staff member for each group. All modules require students to undertake independent study, supported through distance learning technologies such as our Virtual Learning Environment. Reading lists and suggested resources for independent study provide further direction for students to undertake this work, and regular contact hours and informal feedback throughout the courses provide opportunities for further guidance for learners. Assessments for modules mostly take the form of practical coursework, lab tests and written exams, with all forms being well represented throughout all years of the course across all modules.
