Chemical Engineering

About this course

Chemical engineering is the discipline concerned with transforming raw materials and chemicals into useful products on an industrial scale, through the design and operation of processes that involve chemical reactions, heat transfer, fluid flow, separation, and purification. It is one of the most technically demanding and economically important engineering disciplines, underpinning the production of pharmaceuticals, fuels, plastics, food, agrochemicals, materials, and the chemical building blocks of virtually every manufactured product. Chemical engineers work at the frontier of sustainability and innovation, designing processes that are safer, more efficient, and less environmentally damaging than their predecessors. At the University of Exeter, this three-year, full-time degree includes a foundation year for students who benefit from additional mathematical and scientific preparation
