Chemical Engineering

Overview

This course aims to provide you with advanced chemical engineering and process technology skills for exciting and challenging careers in the chemical and process industries. It also enables graduates in chemistry or other science/engineering disciplines to convert to a specialisation in Chemical Engineering.

The course has been designed to provide a greater depth and breadth of knowledge of aspects of advanced chemical engineering and a range of up-to-date process technologies, which enable you to design, operate and manage processes and associated manufacturing plants and to provide leadership in innovation, research and technology transfer. For students with a non-chemical engineering background, the concepts of process design are introduced leading to a plant design project.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of a UK second class (2.2) honours degree or equivalent, in chemical engineering or a related engineering or science discipline. Appropriate industrial experience at a professional level will also be considered.

A pass at GCSE level in English Language (grade C or above). International students must have an English language qualification at a suitable level, for example IELTS 6.0 or equivalent.

Career Options
