Chemical Engineering with Year in Industry

About

Course overview

You'll study a broad curriculum covering the theory and practical application of chemical engineering, including how to use industrial apparatus in our very own pilot plant.

In your third year you spend a paid year in industry, gaining invaluable work experience and building industry contacts. You will work in a team of professional engineers and scientists to apply your knowledge to an industrial problem defined by your host company. Your technical skills will be assessed through an industrial design project and you complete selected chemical engineering topics by distance learning.

The School and the University Careers Service will help you to find potential employers and guide you through the application process. We have strong links with over 100 companies, including:

P&G
MSD
ExxonMobil

On return to University in your fourth year, you study a selection of topics that are tailored to further develop the technical expertise you gain on your placement.

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.
