Chemical Engineering with a Foundation Year

About this course

Chemical engineering is the discipline that designs, optimises, and manages the processes that turn raw materials into the products on which modern society depends. From pharmaceutical manufacture and fuel production to food processing and advanced materials, chemical engineers apply chemistry, physics, and mathematics to ensure that industrial processes are safe, efficient, economically viable, and increasingly sustainable. The discipline also takes seriously the management of by-products and waste, reflecting a growing emphasis on responsible resource use and environmental stewardship. At Swansea University this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, making the degree accessible to students who need additional preparation in science and mathematics before entering degree-level study. Swansea's engineering provision has strong industrial connections, particularly in
