  • It was easy to underestimate the coursework you have to do at home. It is really a lot. It is very expensive: the price for accomandation is approximately at 2500 Euros, and you have to pay for cooking stuff etc

Description

  • Type

    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    Leeds

  • Duration

    4 Years

The energy needs of the world’s population keep growing, with most of it coming from fossil fuels which generate carbon dioxide and ultimately results in climate change. Fossil fuels need to be burnt more efficiently and cleanly while, at the same time, renewable and sustainable sources of energy must be developed.
This course will equip you with the skills needed to work in the chemical, energy and related industries. You’ll learn about fundamental science and mathematical concepts such as process modelling, thermodynamics and materials science, but you’ll also gain specialised knowledge and skills in topics like combustion processes, and renewable energy technologies.
Every stage of the course also gives you plenty of opportunity to apply your knowledge to project-based work, equipping you with the professional skills to succeed in your future career.
You can choose to take either the four-year Integrated Masters (MEng, BEng) or the three-year Bachelor’s (BEng) degree on this course.

About this course

Careers in the field of Chemical Engineering are wide-ranging, and employment prospects are excellent.
Our graduates have successfully secured positions as project engineers, chemical engineers, data analysts, production technologists and process engineers. They can be found in chemical and pharmaceutical companies, fossil fuel and renewable energy plants, mineral processing and metals recycling operations, as well as other areas such as the utilities, consulting, environmental, health and safety, and other government agencies and banking and finance.

A-level: A*AA including Mathematics and either Physics or Chemistry.
Where an A-Level Science subject is taken, we require a pass in the practical science element, alongside the achievement of the A-Level at the stated grade.

Course programme

The first two years of our four chemical engineering degrees share the same set of modules, focusing on the fundamental science and engineering concepts associated with the subject. Not only does this give you a firm foundation for your studies, but it also means you can switch easily between our courses if you choose.


You’ll cover topics such as mass and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science and process modelling, as well as having plenty of opportunities to put that knowledge into practice in design and laboratory work.


In Year 3 you’ll be able to build on this foundation as you develop your specialist knowledge, through modules on energy-related topics including combustion processes and renewable energy technologies as well as core chemical engineering subjects.

Design is also an integral part of each stage of this course. Year 3, you’ll take part in a group design project which will also be based on an energy-related plant.
