Chemical Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Chemical Engineering is a versatile discipline that applies principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, and economics to convert energy and materials into valuable, cost-effective products. It encompasses the research, design, and operation of processes that minimize environmental impacts, ensure ethical and legal compliance, and maximize societal benefits. With a projected shortage of skilled engineers to support the UK's green recovery and net-zero goals, professionals in this field are in high demand across sectors like energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and finance, where they address global challenges such as climate change and vaccine production.At our institution, degrees in Chemical Engineering emphasize practical application through laboratories, simulations, and projects, fostering skills in process design, teamwork, and innovation. Students can select options like language modules or specialized topics in management and bioprocessing, culminating in a final design project and a Professional Development Project. Assessments balance exams and coursework, with accreditation from the Institution of Chemical Engineers ensuring recognized qualifications, preparing graduates for real-world impact.
