Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineers develop innovative processes to turn raw materials into useful products such as fuels, plastics, foods and medicines. On this course students will learn the key set of chemical engineering principles and understand how to use them for a huge range of applications, such as eliminating harmful emissions of greenhouse gases. The BEng and MEng degrees are fully accredited by the IChemE, and have been designed in consultation with major recruiters of chemical engineering graduates. At Chester, they have a strong, supportive culture underpinned by interactive, problem-based learning and research-active faculty. In addition, every student has a personal academic tutor, who will support the student in both the academic and practical aspects of university life. Preparing students for professional success is a key part of Chester's mission. At Chester, all chemical engineering students complete work placements as an integral part of their degree. Opportunities to develop professional skills are embedded throughout the degree programmes and good staff-to-student ratios help students build confidence, for example, in giving presentations and participating in class.
