Chemical Engineering BEng

The BEng and MEng programmes share a common curriculum during Years 1 to 3, allowing you to explore the fundamentals before choosing your final route. Suitably qualified BEng students may transfer to the MEng programme at the end of Year 3. If you choose the BEng, additional training will be required to achieve Chartered Engineer status.

This programme forms part of the Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP), engaging students in interdisciplinary and team-based activities. These immersive, solution-oriented experiences will teach you how to apply academic knowledge to real-world challenges in energy, chemicals, materials, pharmaceuticals, and other sectors, fostering technical expertise, teamwork, and decision-making. Through the IEP Minor options, you will also explore complementary fields, with available modules covering areas such as programming, business, sustainability or molecular engineering. In Year 3, you will also work in small teams to design a complete chemical process plant. This includes unit design, environmental impact, safety and sustainability assessment, process control, and costing—offering an experience that reflects industry challenges.
