Demand is growing for chemical engineers that can design sustainable technologies and processes. On this three-year BEng degree you’ll gain sought-after skills in sustainable chemical engineering and work towards improving our environment. You can also choose to take an additional Industrial Placement Year as part of your degree. <br/><br/>Ranked 4th in the UK by the 2024 Complete University Guide, you’ll work in fantastic facilities that include chemical engineering laboratories, a dedicated chemical engineering computer suite and a virtual control room, where you’ll learn to run a simulation of a real chemical plant, using the same simulations used by industry to train their staff.<br/><br/>By studying across the Schools of Engineering and Chemistry you’ll be able to understand the chemistry behind a particular problem, and have the practical ability to engineer and design innovative and sustainable solutions. You’ll also have access to our 10,000m2 of Engineering facilities, and Chemistry laboratories which were refurbished in 2019. <br/><br/>Design is embedded throughout the degree. In your third year you’ll take part in a challenging group design project, bringing together all of your theoretical knowledge and practical skills to create a design solution – whether that’s a simulation, a report to meet a brief or even building part of a chemical engineering plant. <br/><br/>You’ll receive the training you need to enjoy a rewarding career when you graduate; chemical engineering is one of the most stable and lucrative employment sectors in the UK.
