Duration
4 Years
Developing new processes for producing specialist materials, such as plastics, lightweight metal alloys and nanomaterials, is an emerging trend in the chemical industry for a wide variety of industrial and consumer applications. Covering all these areas, the degree is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills for a career in the chemical, materials and related industries.
You’ll gain a good grounding in the fundamental science and mathematical concepts that underpin chemical engineering, such as thermodynamics and the principles of process engineering. Specialised modules will also give you a thorough understanding of materials-related topics like structural materials and nano-materials.
Each year of the course also gives you the chance to take part in project work, equipping you with the range of professional skills you’ll need in your future career.

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 process engineers, drilling engineers, engineering technicians and chemical engineers among many others. They work 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.
Excludes A-Level General Studies or Critical Thinking.
This course is accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.

Course programme
You’ll cover topics such as mass and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science and process modeling, as well as having plenty of opportunities to put that knowledge into practice in design and laboratory work.
Design is a particularly important element of this course in every year. In Year 3, you’ll take part in a group design project concentrating on the design of a materials processing plant, supported by modules that will help develop your specialist knowledge. You’ll learn about structural materials and functional and nano-materials, as well as core topics like separation processes.
If you continue into Year 4 for the MEng qualification, you’ll take Masters-level modules informed by the research interests of staff in the School. These will give you sophisticated knowledge of topics like materials selection and failure analysis, industrial polymer engineering and product design. You’ll also conduct an individual research project on a materials-related topic.
