Chemical Engineering

About this course

Chemical engineering is about transforming raw materials into useful products at scale. Where chemistry describes what reactions are possible, chemical engineering works out how to make those reactions happen reliably, safely, and economically in industrial settings. The discipline applies principles from chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics to design the processes and equipment behind pharmaceuticals, food, fuels, polymers, fine chemicals, and a growing range of sustainable technologies. Aston University's three-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year and a year abroad, giving you both industrial work experience and the opportunity to study at a partner university in another country. The sandwich placement is central to professional development, allowing you to work in a real engineering environment, build technical and interpersonal skills, and begin developing the p
