Do you want to study chemical engineering with us but don’t have the entry requirements? Our extended chemical engineering degree starts with a foundation year to prepare you for degree-level study.
This extended degree in chemical engineering gives you the knowledge and skills for a successful career as a professional engineer. It covers growth areas in the discipline, including engineering science, particle technology, pharmaceutical development and bioengineering.
As the course includes an extra year that will prepare you for learning at degree level, we ask for lower entry points than for our standard BEng.
Popular career choices for our chemical engineering graduates include roles in the chemical and process engineering, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage industries.
