Chemical Engineering

This course is shaped by the ongoing needs of industry, while focusing on the traditional disciplines of oil, gas and petrochemical production.  

You’ll learn in a research-informed, multidisciplinary environment, gaining the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to operate in a range of industry sectors.  

We have extensive links to industry and our Lecturers actively work on real-life industry projects. 

The programme is accredited by the IChemE.

The department is pretty small which means we all know each other – our lecturers know us personally. It’s a really supportive environment in terms of both the lecturers and colleagues.
