Learn the core knowledge and technical skills of chemical engineering and focus on the environmental challenges of new technologies, processes and products.<br/><br/>The first three years of our course develop your understanding of the core practices of chemical engineering. Through problem-based learning, youll 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.<br/><br/>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. The Individual and group projects you carry out through the degree are a chance for you to develop scientific ideas from bench scale to process scale.<br/><br/>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, youll study the economic, legislative and ethical issues that control environmental protection and sustainability. Areas youll cover will include clean technologies such as water treatment and waste management.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Teaching<br/>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.

UCAS TariffNot Accepted Access to HE DiplomaD:39 39 credits at Distinction A pass in the Access to HE Diploma in Science or Engineering with at least 39 credits achieved at Distinction. This must include at least 12 credits from Mathematics units achieved at Distinction and at least 12 credits from Chemistry units achieved at Distinction. Our Chemical Engineering courses are academically challenging and require solid foundations of knowledge in Mathematics and Chemistry. We are able to consider Access to HE Diplomas in Science or Engineering, and we are looking for you to be studying a suitable level of Mathematics and Chemistry to be able to succeed on our course. You will need to have studied Mathematics units worth at least 12 credits and Chemistry units worth at least 12 credits. Suitable applicants progressing via this route will be invited to interview as part of the admissions process. International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme36 Typical IB offer: 36 points overall and 7, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including Chemistry and either HL Mathematics. In exceptional circumstances we may be able to consider you if you are studying Standard Level Chemistry or Mathematics: Analysis & Approaches. Our typical offer in this instance would be 36 points overall with 7, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Chemistry or either HL Mathematics plus 7 in Standard Level Chemistry or Mathematics: Analysis or Approaches. We cannot accept Standard Level Mathematics: Applications & Interpretations for this course. Contextual IB offer: 36 points overall and 6, 6, 6 or 7, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Chemistry and 6 in either HL Mathematics. Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)D*DD D*DD in the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF) plus grade A in A level Mathematics. You must be studying A level Mathematics alongside your BTEC qualification. We are able to consider the above qualifications in Engineering. You must be studying the following units as part of your BTEC qualification: Further Engineering Mathematics, Principles and Application of Fluid Mechanics, and Thermodynamic Principles and Practice. If you are studying a BTEC qualification in Applied Science in combination with A level Mathematics, please contact us to discuss the suitability of your optional units before making an application. In addition to our essential GCSE requirement in English, we also require grade 4 or C in Double Science or Physics and Biology. Scottish Advanced HigherA,A AA in two Advanced Highers including Chemistry and Mathematics. We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application. We prefer applicants who have achieved AAAAA in their Highers. A levelA*,A,A Typical offer: A*AA in three A-Levels including Chemistry and Mathematics. Contextual offer: AAA or A*AB in three A levels including A in Chemistry and A in Mathematics.
