Chemical Engineering

Wolverhampton Chemical Engineering has established its self as department that is already proud of its engineering heritage. The course has been constructed to deliver Chemical Engineers into the UK and global workplaces. We strongly take the ethos that our students will leave us with a skill set to make a difference to the manufacture of world changing materials and processes. We will teach you the underpinning chemistry and thermodynamics but then we will put this knowledge into an industrial / engineering / 21st century context. We will make you ready for the final, all-important, 3rd year design project. You will be able to design the whole of a chemical manufacturing plant: you will understand the chemistry; you will understand how to control the reaction rate; you will know which are the controlling transport processes you need to monitor. But more than this, the plant you design will be efficient, it will be profitable, it will be green.
To achieve this we will ensure that right from Year 1 you have an engineer’s skill set and knowledge toolbox to call upon. We’ll provide lectures that are research and case study based and supported by tutorials which focus the understanding gained at lectures and make it relevant to contextual / industrial situations.
We will arrange seminars to enable exchange of ideas and knowledge with peers and with tutors. Experts and industrialists from across the UK and beyond will give many of these seminars. These experts in their field will show you the potential future that a degree in Chemical Engineering can give you either here in the UK or beyond..
University of Wolverhampton has just spent £1/3 million on its specialist Chemical Engineering laboratories. These, along with the brand new £25 million chemistry laboratories and our new £10 million manufacturing facilities out at Telford will develop your practical skills, information gathering and data-handling
