Designed with input from industry experts, this course follows a practical problem-solving approach. You'll be able to unlock, develop and expand your creative potential and build technical expertise, so you become an enthusiastic highly skilled, confident work-ready chemical engineering graduate who can develop innovative ways to turn raw materials into everyday products.
On this course you will use the CDIO (conceive, design, implement, operate) approach developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. CDIO gives you sought-after, hands-on experience that you can deploy in your future career which could include energy management, water and food security, resource scarcity, climate change and more.
We offer a truly immersive learning opportunity in academic and practical engineering. The practical elements of the course will help you connect with others, develop on and off campus and will support and prepare you to enter an engineering career with varied and exciting prospects. You'll work on individual and group projects supported with online tools akin to current professional engineering working activities and Personal Academic Tutor.
You’ll be taught on campus by inspiring teachers providing vital learning, experience and developing your advanced skills in professional standard labs while learning from and connecting with industry experts through on-line guest lectures.
