Chemical Engineering

What do you study in Chemical Engineering?

Chemical Engineering combines science and technology to design the processes that turn raw materials into essential products, from medicines and fuels to plastics and food. It is not just about chemistry in a laboratory, but about thinking on an industrial scale and solving real problems.

  • Design and optimisation of reactors and industrial processes
  • Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat and mass transfer
  • Simulation of industrial plants using specialist software
  • Process control, industrial safety and environmental management
  • Pharmaceutical, energy, food and materials industries

You will be able to work in fields as diverse as renewable energy, biotechnology and the chemical industry, leading projects that directly affect society and the environment.
