MEng Chemical Engineering

The broad field of chemical engineering, which blends science and mathematics, has a significant, but frequently unnoticed, influence on society. It involves turning raw materials into goods that are both useful and desired, generating long-lasting goods and services, and developing the know-how and technology necessary for a sustainable future.
From the very beginning of a project to the final product at the end of the line and even to the market, the opinions of chemical engineers are invaluable. Because of their versatile skill set and good employment prospects, chemical engineers are highly regarded by employers. Graduates work in a wide range of industries, including the oil, polymer, utility, and fine chemical and food goods sectors. In addition to helping you develop the capacity to apply your abilities to actual, real-world engineering situations, this curriculum will enable you to comprehend the chemical and physical principles that underlie chemical engineering concepts. Additionally, it will enhance your transferable abilities in career management, teamwork, communication, and industrial and commercial awareness.
