Chemical Engineering with Foundation Year

About

Course overview

Our chemical engineering degrees focus on developing your knowledge and practical skills on topics across the discipline, so you're equipped to embark on an exciting career as a chemical engineer.

This foundation year will help you build the base knowledge you need to progress to our chemical engineering BEng degree.

This is a full-time programme of study covering core chemical engineering topics, including:

foundation mathematics
applied mechanics
material science

Successful completion of the foundation year leads to guaranteed progression to Stage 1 on one of Chemical Engineering BEng Honours (H810).

BEng or MEng?

Both our BEng degree and specialist MEng degrees provide a pathway to becoming a Chartered Engineer. This is one of the most recognisable international engineering qualifications.

Our MEng degrees are a direct route to becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng). You dont need to study any more qualifications after your degree to work towards chartered status.

Our three-year BEng degree can also lead to Chartered Engineer status. However, youll need to complete further study, such as an approved masters degree.

Opportunities

Progression

This course gives you the knowledge you need to progress to our Chemical Engineering BEng Honours degree.

If you are not sure which engineering discipline you are interested in, you should apply for the general Engineering with Foundation Year degree.

This allows you to delay your choice of engineering discipline until the end of the foundation year.
