About this course

Chemical engineering transforms scientific principles into the processes that produce the materials, fuels, medicines, and food that the world depends on. It applies chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology to the design and operation of industrial processes, asking how chemical and physical transformations can be conducted safely, efficiently, and at the scale required for industrial production. Chemical engineers are central to the pharmaceutical, energy, food, water treatment, and advanced materials industries, and the discipline's combination of rigorous science and practical engineering is one of the most valued in the graduate job market. At Loughborough, this four-year degree includes a foundation year designed for students who have not studied the prerequisite subjects needed for direct first-year entry, or who have not met their expected entry requirements due to adverse ci
