Chemical Engineering, MEng (Hons)

This course focuses on the design and operation of processes for producing essential products, including fuels, medicines, plastics, food, and advanced materials, alongside energy production and utilisation. The first three years align with the BEng (H810) programme, while the fourth year offers advanced specialisation through an individual research project, potentially in collaboration with industry. Practical learning emphasises hands-on experiences such as laboratory work, projects, and real-world problem-solving in state-of-the-art facilities like The Diamond's pilot plant, integrating industry-standard equipment and digital manufacturing skills. Students can select specialisms in areas like energy or pharmaceutical engineering, culminating in a third-year process design project and a fourth-year independent research endeavour.Studying this accredited Chemical Engineering MEng from Sheffield prepares graduates as highly sought-after specialists, addressing global challenges in clean energy and sustainable manufacturing. Benefits include embedded employability support, such as career conferences with industry leaders from companies like Nestlé and Pepsico; participation in the Chemical Engineering Society for social and academic networking; flexible module choices to tailor the course; and access to world-class facilities, including the UK's first university powder processing line. The programme is accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers, meeting the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer status.
