Chemical engineering is ideally suited to students with ability in mathematics and science, who enjoy problem-solving and aspire to well-paid, satisfying jobs at home and abroad. Chemical engineering is all about change; creating life-enhancing products and services by applying scientific and mathematical understanding to design, control and improve processes that change raw materials into useful products. Chemical engineers are world leaders in producing medicines, clean energy and water, and other key products in a cost-effective, safe and environmentally friendly manner.

 

Lectures are supplemented by laboratory sessions, project work and team exercises. The course is comprehensive, addressing sectors from heavy chemicals like oil and gas to high-value products like pharmaceuticals, as well as issues like energy efficiency, waste minimisation and environmental protection, all in the context of safe and sustainable operations.
