<strong>Why choose this course</strong><br/>• Our BEng and MEng Chemical and Petroleum Engineering courses focus particularly on petrochemicals, sustainability and design.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Take the opportunity to get industry-ready with our award-winning Professional Training placements.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Were one of the UKs leading petroleum engineering universities. With us you’ll learn the technical skills and problem-solving mindset required to tackle real-world engineering problems and design sustainable solutions with practical applications in industry.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Experience the complete chemical engineering process: our £1.7m chemical engineering facility includes a fully operational pilot process plant.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Alongside general university scholarships and bursaries, our extensive contacts in industry have resulted in prizes being awarded to undergraduates by Atkins, Halliburton KBR, Air Products, UOP, IChemE and the Worshipful Company of Engineers.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>What you will study</strong><br/>The modern world relies on chemical engineers to develop and design processes that efficiently produce useful products, manage resources like water and energy, ensure health and safety, and protect the environment. <br/><br/>Our BEng and MEng Chemical and Petroleum Engineering courses align with current industry issues. You’ll study traditional chemical engineering topics with multidisciplinary design projects, explore in-depth petrochemical modules and crucial sustainability themes that will further your understanding of environmental responsibility. <br/><br/>You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The MEng builds on the BEng with a masters year, known as an integrated masters and is a direct route to becoming a chartered engineer. Students on our MEng may take part in a multidisciplinary project working with other engineering students across the University.
