Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering

An undergraduate chemical engineering degree allows students to understand and apply the principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics to the design, development, and optimisation of processes that produce materials, fuels, medicines, and other products. It provides a strong foundation in core engineering concepts while offering opportunities to specialise in areas such as biochemical engineering, process safety, energy systems, and sustainable manufacturing.
The programme offers the opportunity to study core subjects including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, reaction engineering, transport phenomena, process design, and materials science. Students also gain practical experience through laboratory work, pilot plant operations, computer simulations, and industry placements, developing the technical and problem-solving skills essential for real-world engineering challenges.

Why study Undegraduate Degree in Chemical Engineering?
Studying chemical engineering at undergraduate level is a chance to combine scientific knowledge with engineering innovation, preparing graduates to work in industries such as energy, pharmaceuticals, food and drink manufacturing, and environmental technology. Career opportunities include roles in process engineering, research and development, and operations management, with the option to progress to postgraduate study or professional engineering accreditation.
