About the course

From fuel and clothing to pharmaceuticals and phones, chemistry is the central science that makes our modern everyday lives possible. Chemical engineering delves into how chemical reactions can be scaled up for industrial manufacturing. So, if you like the idea of a degree that has chemistry at its core while also giving you the chance to develop an industry-relevant specialism in chemical engineering, this course could be perfect for you.

• This course is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
• Designed with a four-way split between organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry, our Chemistry with Chemical Engineering BSc(Hons) course also weaves problem-solving and logical reasoning through all the modules.
• We’ll show you how to take an imaginative approach to the subjects, so you’re not just learning the facts, but building the real-world knowledge and mastering the key skills that will help stand you in good stead for your future career.
• In our chemical sciences labs you’ll have the opportunity to learn using the kind of instruments used in industry, and with an optional work placement in the UK or abroad in Year 3, you’ll find everything in place to help you gear your study towards boosting your employability.
• Our academics are all educated to doctoral level in their subjects and involved in forward-thinking research. This ensures we keep our courses challenging, exciting and thought-provoking and helps prepare you well to start your own career.
