About this course
BEng Hons in Chemical Engineering with Placement Year, a chemical engineering degree centred on the design and operation of chemical processes and industrial systems. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Engineering Design, Communication & Writing, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Ethics & Professional Practice, and Entrepreneurship. The four-year programme features a shared general engineering foundation in the first year and incorporates a professional placement year in industry during the third year. The first year covers core engineering principles through modules such as Applied Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Science, Engineering Skills, Engineering Systems, Engineering Thermofluids, and Fundamental Engineering Mathematics. The second year introduces specialist chemical content through Chemical Engineering Design, Chemical Engineering Practice, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Fluid Mechanics and Mass Transfer, Particle Technology & Separation Processes, and Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer. Year 3 consists of a graduate-level placement role in industry. The final year advances technical competence through Applied Reaction Engineering, Chemical Engineering Project, Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship, Process Dynamics and Control, and Sustainable Process Engineering.
