Chemical Engineering (Extended), BEng (Hons), with industry placement

Our extended chemical engineering degree is designed for those who aspire to study the field but lack standard entry requirements, featuring an initial foundation year to build essential skills for degree-level learning. This programme equips students with the knowledge and expertise needed for a successful career as a professional engineer, covering key areas such as engineering science, particle technology, pharmaceutical development, and bioengineering. With lower entry criteria due to the preparatory year, graduates often pursue roles in chemical and process engineering, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage industries.Developed in collaboration with the IChemE and industry leaders, the course emphasises hands-on teaching at the Faculty of Engineering and Science. It focuses on safely and efficiently converting raw materials into everyday products and is delivered at our Medway Campus in Chatham Maritime, Kent. For detailed module structures and assessments, please refer to our website.

All degree courses are made up of modules – individual units of study on different topics. Some modules are compulsory; others can be chosen from a list of options.
