Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering, MEng (Hons)

By integrating chemical and environmental engineering, this program equips students to design processes and products that reduce impacts on air, land, and water. Graduates will engage in key areas such as waste disposal, environmental compliance, flooding management, infrastructure development, pollutant control, land recovery, water supply, sanitation, and sectors including food, energy, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, and oil and gas. The curriculum fosters engineering expertise and professional skills, alongside transferable abilities in project management, business, finance, analytics, and teamwork.Opportunities include a one-year paid industrial placement or study abroad, with accreditation from the Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and IOM3, ensuring alignment with UK engineering standards. The course features a shared first year for foundational knowledge, options to transfer programs, an industry-focused group project in year three, and year-four specialization with a research project, involving over 40 hours weekly of lectures, group work, and self-study.

You will share the same first year across the department - developing knowledge of the engineering fundamentals, science and design. At the end of year one you can elect to transfer to any of the courses offered by the department. In year three, in addition to advanced modules, you will undertake an industry-focused group design project, which simulates a commercial environment and will allow you to develop and demonstrate valuable skills for your future career as a professional chemical engineer. In year four, you will be able to specialise by choosing modules that suit your own interests and career path. You will also undertake a research and development project, giving you first-hand experience in cutting-edge research and advanced design practices. Through lectures, group study and tutorials combined with coursework and self-study, you may spend over 40 hours a week on your studies.
