About this course
The MEng Hons Chemical Engineering with Placement Year is a chemical engineering degree centred on the design and development of chemical processes and sustainable engineering solutions. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, Engineering Design, Communication & Writing, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Ethics & Professional Practice, Entrepreneurship, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The programme features a shared general engineering foundation in the first year, a dedicated industry placement year in the fourth year, and an individual research project in the final year. The first year covers core fundamentals through Applied Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Science, Engineering Skills, Engineering Systems, Engineering Thermofluids, and Fundamental Engineering Mathematics. The second year introduces specialized topics via Chemical Engineering Design, Chemical Engineering Practice, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Fluid Mechanics and Mass Transfer, Particle Technology & Separation Processes, and Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer. The third year advances into Applied Reaction Engineering, Chemical Engineering Project, Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship, Process Dynamics and Control, and Sustainable Process Engineering. The fourth year consists of a professional placement in industry. The fifth year comprises the Individual Project and Industrial Consultancy, alongside optional modules allowing students to study Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, Control and Machine Learning, Electrochemical Engineering, Hydrogen Technologies and Fuel Cells, Interfacial Phenomena and Microfluidics, or Nuclear Fuels Engineering.
