Chemical Engineering

About this course

Chemical engineering is the discipline concerned with designing, optimising, and scaling up the processes that transform raw materials into the products that modern society depends on. From pharmaceuticals and fuels to food, polymers, and advanced materials, the work of chemical engineers touches almost every area of economic and social life. The discipline combines chemistry and biology with the principles of fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, thermodynamics, and process design, asking how chemical transformations can be carried out efficiently, safely, and sustainably at industrial scale. This three-year, full-time programme at Swansea develops your understanding of the core principles of chemical engineering and their application to the design and management of industrial processes. You will study reaction engineering, separation processes, thermodynamics, fluid flow, process c
