Course description
Chemical engineers are innovators who can be found at the leading edge of new and emerging technologies such as:
* nanotechnology
* carbon capture
* renewable energy
They help make the world a better place by using scientific principles to design and operate clean, safe and sustainable processes that transform materials and help tackle tomorrow’s grand challenges.
They develop, design and produce many of the products and materials that underpin or enhance our everyday lives; from the water we drink and the gas that powers our homes to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, silicon chips and even synthetic skin.
**Programme benefits**
* We educate students to become visionary professional engineers, critical thinkers and leaders.
* We give students skills to tackle tomorrow’s major societal challenges using chemical engineering principles.
* We maintain close links with industry to deliver relevant teaching, professional development and innovation.
* We foster a community of global thought leaders through research-led teaching.
* We build equality in society through our values of inclusion, diversity, and internationalism.
* All our degrees are accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE).
