About the course

Chemical engineers, also known as process engineers, take lab/small-scale production up to industrial scale. This can be bioprocesses like pharmaceuticals, food such as bread, industrial chemicals like fertilizers, or even nuclear power plants. They contribute to wider society by managing resources, protecting the environment, and controlling health and safety procedures. If you have an aptitude and fascination for how the physical world works, are interested in how chemical reactions and the physical properties of matter can be harnessed to create world-changing technologies, and want to contribute positively to making the life of the human race better, then you should consider Chemical Engineering. Our BEng/MEng Chemical Engineering degrees deliver the learning outcomes required of any general chemical engineering degree programme giving our graduates the opportunity to find employment across the broad spectrum of Chemical Engineering employers. Our location in Aberdeen, the energy capital of Europe, and our engagement with local industry means that our students have the opportunity to engage with the local upstream oil and gas industry from the moment they embark on their studies. They can also engage with the energy transition directly, with our research in the bioproduction of chemicals and one of the largest wind-farms in the UK just offshore.
