Chemical and Petroleum Engineering

Why choose this course
• 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.

• 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.

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 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.
