  • Would rather prefer a city where the university is not as far away from the center as in Leeds. The city is a bit dirty.

    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    Leeds

  • Duration

    4 Years

Chemical engineering is all about changing raw materials by altering the chemical, biochemical or physical state of a substance to create everything from face creams to fuels, metals to paper, plastics to synthetic fibres and drugs. This course will expose you to the fundamental science and mathematics underpinning process engineering concepts, alongside specialised modules to equip you for a career in the chemical and related process industries.
You’ll gain an understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science and mass and energy balances, alongside specialist knowledge of separation processes, reaction engineering and process control. You’ll also undertake project work at every stage of the programme, allowing you to apply your knowledge to design and lab work and gain the range of skills you’ll need in your professional career.
Taught by academics who are leaders in their fields, you’ll benefit from our cutting-edge research and extensive links with industry.

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 modeling, as well as having plenty of opportunities to put that knowledge into practice in design and laboratory work.In year 3, you’ll build on this knowledge and study more specialised modules, covering a wide range of chemical engineering topics such as separation processes, reaction engineering, particle process engineering, process control and a major design project.

If you continue into Year 4 for the MEng qualification, you’ll carry out an individual research project that investigates an industry-related topic in depth. Masters-level modules informed by research interests across the School will allow you to develop sophisticated knowledge of topics such as product design and development, modelling and simulation, advances in chemical engineering and advanced reaction engineering.
