Chemical engineers transform raw materials into the materials and products we rely on.
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.
Chemical engineers are innovators who can be found at the leading edge of new and emerging technologies such as:
* nanotechnology
* carbon capture
* renewable energy

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/>We keep improving our curriculum and consult with:<br/><br/><br/>* industrial partners<br/><br/><br/>* accreditation bodies<br/><br/><br/>* our students<br/><br/><br/>In this way, we make sure that our degree will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to develop a successful career in engineering. 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/>Edinburgh is 1st in Scotland and 3rd in the UK for Engineering research in joint submission with Heriot-Watt University. Our research directly impacts what you will study and addresses key future global challenges: driving the transition to a lower carbon future; next generation materials and processes; data-driven innovation, robotics and AI systems; and making infrastructure and the environment safer and healthier.
