The Integrated Masters in Chemical Engineering at Keele develops advanced technical expertise, research experience, and professional skills that will set you apart in a competitive field. This programme is designed for those who want to lead innovation and make a lasting impact on global challenges such as clean energy, sustainable manufacturing, and advanced materials.<br/><br/><strong>Why choose this course?</strong><br/>• Specialise in engineering to a masters level, building key skills to advance your learning<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Benefit from industry-informed teaching, networking opportunities, and practical learning<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Develop a range of professional skills including critical thinking, data analysis and evidence-based problem solving<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Gain industry experience through a work placement year, preparing you for a range of careers<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Study abroad with an international year to broaden your horizons<br/><br/><br/><br/>Chemical engineering addresses some of the world’s most pressing challenges: clean energy, safe water, life-saving medicines, sustainable food systems, and advanced materials for modern technology. Combining science, creativity, and problem-solving, chemical engineers design and optimise the processes that underpin daily life. At Keele, you’ll learn from industry experts, developing the skills to design innovative processes that improve lives and shape a more sustainable future.<br/><br/>This four-year integrated master’s (MEng) combines undergraduate and postgraduate study in one enhanced degree. You’ll begin with Engineering Fundamentals, building the scientific and technical knowledge to tackle complex problems. Alongside this, Engineering Skills will strengthen your practical ability through labs, workshops, and training in communication and project management, while Engineering Simulation and Mathematics will develop your precision in advanced analysis and modelling. In your fourth year, you will complete master’s-level study, advancing your expertise through specialist modules and a major research project.<br/><br/>Chemical Engineering at Keele combines foundational engineering sciences with specialist study in thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, mass and energy balances, and early exposure to bio-based polymers and nanomaterials. As you progress, you will develop skills in system performance, control, and AI-assisted modelling, addressing complex, real-world applications. In your final years, you will tackle sustainability and circular economy challenges, exploring process and plant design, reactor technologies, and high-value materials including semiconductors, graphene, and engineered biomaterials. You will also develop leadership, teamwork, communication, and research skills through major projects, including an extended Masters-level dissertation or an industry-led project.<br/><br/><strong>About Keele</strong><br/><br/>Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University.
