Chemical Engineering
An Undergraduate Chemical Engineering MEng (Hons) focuses on the processing of raw materials into products on a commercial scale (process engineering). Learn more Launch your chemical engineering career with this accredited course shaped by world-leading research. Chemical Engineering is a highly versatile and interdisciplinary subject.
It applies the principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, and economics to transform energy and materials into useful and affordable products. It covers the research, design and operation of new and existing processes to minimise environmental impacts, ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards, and maximise profits and benefits to society. Chemical engineers take leading roles in many different sectors, including energy, water, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, and even finance.
They use their sought-after technical know-how and ingenuity to develop solutions to many of the world’s most pressing challenges, such as climate change and the large-scale production of new vaccines. Our Chemical Engineering degree is designed with this in mind. You will learn specialist scientific and engineering skills and how to apply them to real-world problems, so you'll graduate ready to begin an exciting and successful career.
