Chemical Engineering

About this course

Chemical engineering is the discipline that applies scientific, engineering, and business principles to the design and operation of processes that convert raw materials into useful products. It is central to the pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food processing, materials, and renewable energy industries, and chemical engineers are among the most analytically capable and commercially valuable of all engineering graduates. You will apply scientific, engineering, and business principles to a variety of complex practical issues, analysing a range of engineering problems that require you to think across scales from molecular chemistry to industrial plant design. At Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, this four-year full-time programme is one of the most rigorous chemical engineering degrees in the UK. You will study thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, rea
