Modern society relies on the work of chemical engineers, they help to manage resources, protect the environment and control health and safety procedures, while developing the processes that make the products we desire or depend on. This chemical engineering course provides a deep understanding of chemical processes and also the products resulting from chemical reactions.
On the course, you will learn how raw materials can be transformed into useful products in a safe and cost effective way. For example petrol, plastics and synthetic fibres such as polyester and nylon, all come from oil. Chemical engineers understand how to alter the chemical, biochemical or physical state of a substance, to create a range of products as diverse as cosmetics and fuels.
The course covers energy resource exploitation and management, industrial practices and processes, chemical thermodynamics and reaction engineering, process design and control, health and safety and protection of the environment, and petroleum and chemical refining.

About this course
We will give you four things:
We will give you the knowledge and understanding to appreciate how processes make products.
We will give the analytical skills to solve problems when they occur
We will give you the communication skills so that your message can be heard clearly and globally if needs be.
We will give you the confidence to succeed
Placements
As with many, if not all, chemical engineering department we cannot guarantee placements. This is because years in the chemical industry are highly competitive. However, we will make you highly competitive and help in any way we can in finding, applying and getting placement years, summer internships and seeing how the world of chemical engineering really works
