Chemical Engineering

About this course

Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the design and operation of industrial processes that transform raw materials into useful products through chemical, physical, and biological means. The field encompasses the production of fuels, pharmaceuticals, plastics, food, specialty chemicals, and advanced materials, as well as energy generation and environmental management. Chemical engineers apply principles from chemistry, physics, and mathematics to design processes that are safe, efficient, and economically viable at scales that can range from laboratory pilot plants to vast industrial facilities. At the University of Sheffield this four-year full-time programme builds a rigorous foundation in the science and engineering of chemical processes. You will study fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, reaction engineering, process control, and the de
