Develop the technical and professional skills to pursue a range of careers as a chemical engineer and more.
Our course introduces you to the core principles and practices of chemical engineering. It develops your professional skills in engineering, mathematics, science, information technology, research, design, communication and management.
Through lectures and practical lab sessions, you’ll learn how to gather and assess data to develop industrial strategies. You’ll explore new technologies and gain a comprehensive understanding of process design. Your studies will give you the confidence to critically apply scientific and engineering knowledge.
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 key feature of your studies and a chance for you to develop scientific ideas from the bench scale to process scale. You’ll apply your engineering knowledge to a full chemical process such as designing an anaerobic digester, a water treatment facility for a refugee camp, or a low-carbon ammonia synthesis plant.
Learn from experts in the field\
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.
Use specialist 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:
* teaching labs with continuous reactors, microbial bioreactors and a range of other bespoke equipment that demonstrates core chemical engineering concepts
* reaction engineering research labs where we are making breakthroughs in sustainable products
* 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

Access to HE Diploma
offer-distinction: 39.0
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.
Scottish Advanced Higher
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.
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
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, 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 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.
