Chemical engineering is a vital branch of engineering concerned with the analysis and design of chemical processes for manufacturing purposes. Studying this alongside chemistry could introduce you to potentially exciting career opportunities, which allow you to make an impact in a variety of fields, including pharmaceuticals and healthcare, process design and construction, and food science.

 

Why study Chemical Engineering with Chemistry BEng(Hons)

This Chemical Engineering with Chemistry BEng(Hons) course is accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), meaning it will provide in-depth coverage of modern, industry-relevant chemical engineering material, from the fundamentals all the way to process design. You’ll be prepared to start your journey towards achieving Chartered Chemical Engineer status after completion.

 

This course will equip you with a solid understanding of the fundamentals of chemical engineering as well as chemistry, with an emphasis on developing skills such as problem-solving, logical reasoning, and imaginative thinking.

 

You’ll gain relevant real-world experience throughout this course. You’ll be taught by leading academics through lectures, seminars, and sessions, which will be supplemented by modern industry instruments in our specialist chemical sciences and chemical engineering labs, which include pilot-scale rigs. Following your first two years in the course, you’ll put your knowledge and skills to the test in an optional supervised work placement. During this placement year, you’ll:

• Experience working in a real-world environment within the industry, in the UK or internationally.
• Explore employment opportunities within organisations related to your studies and chosen pathway.
• Network with potential employers and construct work experience profiles to prepare for a future Chemical Engineering or Chemistry career.
