About this course
MEng in Chemical Engineering, a chemical engineering degree centred on the design, analysis, and optimisation of chemical processes and industrial systems. Core topics include Programming, Mathematical Modelling, Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The curriculum is professionally accredited and culminates in a substantial final-year research project and a comprehensive design project undertaken in teams. The first year covers foundational principles through Mastery 1, Process Analysis, Chemical Engineering Practice 1, and Transfer Processes 1, focusing on fluid behaviour and basic mathematical and chemical concepts. The second year progresses to advanced topics with Transfer Processes 2, Chemical Engineering Practice 2, Reaction Engineering 1, and Engineering Mathematics, exploring momentum transfer and reactor design. The third year deepens professional competencies through Mastery 3, Process Design, Safety and Loss Prevention, and Environmental Engineering, alongside optional modules such as Sustainable Energy Technologies and Entrepreneurship for Chemical Engineers. The fourth year centers on advanced specialization through compulsory research and design projects, with optional modules spanning topics such as Machine Learning for Chemical Engineering, Advanced Bioprocess Engineering, and Carbon Capture and Clean Fossil Fuels.
