About BEng Chemical Engineering

Graduates of the BEng Chemical Engineering programme move into roles such as process engineer, product development engineer, energy systems specialist or research scientist in sectors including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food production and renewable energy. Many also progress to professional registration as Chartered Engineers or continue to masters programmes for deeper specialisation. The course suits students who have achieved high grades in mathematics and either chemistry or physics and who enjoy applying scientific principles to real-world problems. It addresses how raw materials are transformed into useful products, how energy is managed sustainably and how reactors and separation processes are designed. The three-year programme combines lectures, laboratory work and a final-year industry-linked design project to develop analytical, modelling and teamwork skills relevant to modern engineering practice.
