Duration
4 Years
Designed to keep pace with current chemical engineering issues, our courses combine traditional chemical engineering topics with multidisciplinary design, biochemical engineering and sustainability.
You’ll be taught by prize-winning academics and will develop a strong base of knowledge that’s relevant across the chemical and petrochemical industries.
Students on our MEng course may take part in a multidisciplinary project which sees them working together with other engineers across the University.
You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng (Master of Engineering). The MEng builds on the BEng programme with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification. Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies.
