Chemical Engineering

About this course

Chemical engineering is the discipline concerned with transforming raw materials into useful products at scale, using the principles of chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics to design, operate, and optimise industrial processes. From oil refining and pharmaceuticals to food production, water treatment, semiconductors, and renewable energy, chemical engineers work at the heart of the industries that underpin modern life. The discipline demands not only deep scientific knowledge but also the engineering judgment to translate laboratory chemistry into safe, efficient, and economically viable industrial operations. At Newcastle University, this three-year full-time programme offers an exceptionally rich structural package. You will have the opportunity to undertake a placement year in industry, spend a year abroad at a partner institution, and engage with work placements during the c
