Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Course summary

Through combining chemical with environmental engineering, you will design processes and products that minimise impacts on air, land and water.As a chemical and environmental engineer you will work with the following areas:

• Disposal of waste

• Environmental compliance – reducing the impact of spills and emissions

• Flooding and drainage

• Infrastructure and development

• Management of pollutants

• Recovery of damaged land (damaged through mining, farming or landfill)

• Water supply and sanitation

• Food and drink

• Energy

• Pharmaceuticals

• Consumer products

• Oil and gas

We support you to develop the engineering knowledge and professional skills to design the processes that make the products we all rely on. To support your graduate career you will develop transferable skills in:

• Project management

• Business management

• Finance

• Analytics

• Teamwork

This course offers the opportunity to undertake a one-year paid industrial placement and/or study abroad.This degree has been accredited by the Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and IOM3 (Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).

Modules

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.
