Description

  • Type

    Master

  • Duration

    4 Years

The first three years of our course develop your understanding of the founding practices of chemical engineering. Through problem-based learning, you'll gain the knowledge to critically apply mathematical, scientific and engineering knowledge to projects. A mix of practical work in laboratories and theory in lectures and seminars gives you the breadth of learning needed to become adept in the subject.

You’ll also develop transferable skills such as problem solving, teamwork and resource management. Integrating these with your technical knowledge, you’ll learn how to tackle complex, and often open-ended, engineering problems. Individual and group projects are a chance for you to develop scientific ideas from bench scale to process scale.

In your final year, you’ll have the opportunity to build on your chemical engineering knowledge by specialising in environmental engineering. Choosing this route allows you to explore aspects that address social, environmental and health issues, as well as sustainability. Focusing on environmental science and engineering, you'll study the economic, legislative and ethical issues that control environmental protection and sustainability. Areas you'll cover will include clean technologies such as water treatment and waste management.

You can switch between this and our MEng Chemical Engineering course up until the end of your third year. This is so you can use your study experience so far to help you decide on your final degree.

Studying an MEng gives you an in-depth study experience through advanced taught units and project work. You can explore topics in more depth through a semester-long research project that can be completed at Bath, a university abroad or in industry. Our MEng degrees also fulfil the educational requirements you need to become a Chartered Engineer.

We also offer this course with a placement year, giving you the opportunity to gain work experience as part of your degree.

About this course

Learn the core knowledge and technical skills of chemical engineering and focus on the environmental challenges of new technologies, processes and products.
Teaching
Our department’s great staff and student community provides a friendly and supportive environment to learn in. We deliver teaching complemented by guest lectures from practitioners to give you a professional and practical perspective on the subject. You’ll learn from expert academic staff whose industrial collaborations, research and entrepreneurial activities feed into our teaching and contribute to your learning experience.

Facilities
Specialist facilities are central to your study experience. Our laboratory facilities range from bench scale to pilot scale and are specially equipped to enhance your education in becoming a chemical engineer.

You’ll have access to:

our newly developed undergraduate teaching labs, containing continuous reactors, microbial bioreactors and a range of other bespoke equipment designed to highlight core chemical engineering concepts
reaction engineering research labs where the next generation of sustainable products are being produced
advanced separation research laboratories focused on the synthesis and characterisation of low-cost membrane technology
high-spec biochemical engineering labs where the fuels and foods of the future are being developed

By becoming a chemical engineer, you’ll be able to make a valuable difference to the world around you. You could be part of building a better future through delivering clean water, designing greener products, or researching new ways to generate energy. You’ll also be joining one of the highest-paid professions in the UK.

With a chemical engineering degree from Bath, you can be confident that you’ll graduate with the specific engineering knowledge and transferable skills to help start your career. You could take on technical and managerial roles across industry and commercial sectors. For example, you could follow a career in alternative fuels, healthcare industries, water treatment, production of consumables such as food

Your application, especially your personal statement, should explain your motivation for choosing this degree and any relevant non-academic interests and achievements. Your application is more likely to be successful if you demonstrate a strong interest in chemical engineering and environmental engineering through relevant reading, extracurricular or co-curricular activities, or work experience.
