Course Description
Why choose this course
Our BEng and MEng courses have been developed in consultation with industry. You’ll gain the technical skills and problem-solving mindset needed to solve real-world engineering problems, preparing you for a fulfilling career in the oil and gas, petrochemical or energy industries.
On this course, you’ll get the chance to experience the complete chemical engineering process: our £1.7m chemical engineering facility includes a fully operational pilot process plant, which you’ll use during your course and operate as part of a team in your third year. You can also take part in our award-winning Professional Training placements programme, which prepares students for roles in industry.
What you will study
Our BEng and MEng align with current industry issues. They combine traditional chemical engineering topics with multidisciplinary design projects, specialist petrochemical modules and sustainability.
You’ll be taught by prize-winning academics and experienced former industrialists, and you’ll gain a strong base knowledge that’s relevant for a wide range of fulfilling careers in the global energy sector.
You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The MEng builds on the BEng with a masters year 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.
Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch from BEng to MEng during your studies.
