MEng Chemical Engineering
About this course
Chemical engineering applies the principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology to the design and operation of processes that convert raw materials into useful products. It sits at the heart of industries as varied as pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, food processing, water treatment, and the manufacture of advanced materials. Chemical engineers work at scale, translating laboratory chemistry into industrial processes that are safe, efficient, and economically viable, and they increasingly contribute to the development of sustainable technologies that address energy and environmental challenges. This four-year full-time degree at Teesside University provides a rigorous grounding in the mathematical and engineering principles that underpin chemical process design. You will develop skills in algebra, calculus, vectors, and computational methods alongside the engineering science of fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, reaction engineering, and process control. A sandwich year and work placement opportunities are integrated into the programme, giving you substantial professional experience in a chemical engineering environment before you graduate. The typical entry tariff is 88 points. Chemical engineering graduates are among the most sought-after in engineering recruitment, with strong demand from the oil and gas, refining, pharmaceutical, food and drink, water treatment, and speciality chemicals industries, as well as from the growing clean energy sector. Roles span process design, process safety, plant operations, research and development, and project management. Many graduates pursue professional registration as chartered engineers, and postgraduate study in chemical engineering, process safety, or energy is available for those wishing to develop specialist expertise or pursue academic research.
