Chemical Engineering Beng (Hon)

Chemical engineers transform raw materials into the materials and products we rely on. <br/><br/>They develop, design and produce many of the products and materials that underpin or enhance our everyday lives; from the water we drink and the gas that powers our homes to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, silicon chips and even synthetic skin. <br/><br/>Chemical engineers are innovators who can be found at the leading edge of new and emerging technologies such as:<br/><br/><br/>* nanotechnology<br/><br/><br/>* carbon capture<br/><br/><br/>* renewable energy <br/><br/><br/>They are also adept at balancing economic considerations with safety and environmental requirements.<br/><br/>The wide-ranging nature of chemical engineering is reflected in the breadth of courses we offer as part of this programme.<br/><br/>If you are interested in learning how to use mathematics and chemistry to solve real problems that affect all of our lives, then chemical engineering could be for you. <br/><br/>**Why Edinburgh?**<br/><br/><br/>* we educate students to become visionary professional engineers, critical thinkers and leaders<br/><br/><br/>* we give students skills to tackle tomorrow’s major societal challenges using Chemical Engineering principles<br/><br/><br/>* we maintain close links with industry to deliver relevant teaching, professional development and innovation<br/><br/><br/>* we foster a community of global thought leaders through research-led teaching<br/><br/><br/>* we build equality in society through our values of inclusion, diversity, and internationalism<br/><br/><br/>* we offer in Year 5 MEng an optional 6-month (paid) Industry Project, or semester 1 Overseas Study, or an in -house semester 1 research project<br/><br/><br/>* all our degrees are accredited by IChemE<br/><br/><br/>We have particularly active community and network of companies in fields related to chemical engineering, many of which are located here, close to the talent of our graduates. <br/><br/>In REF 2021, our joint engineering submission with Heriot-Watt University was ranked 1st in Scotland and 3rd in the UK, based on the quality and breadth of our combined research by Times Higher Education.<br/><br/>Our research directly impacts what you will study and addresses key future global challenges:<br/><br/><br/>* driving the transition to a lower carbon future <br/><br/><br/>* next generation materials and processes <br/><br/><br/>* data-driven innovation, robotics and AI systems <br/><br/><br/>* making infrastructure and the environment safer and healthier<br/>
