Chemical Engineering MEng
Building on our three-year BEng(Hons) degree, this course offers you the chance to benefit from a further year taught at the Master’s level. During the course we’ll cover modern, industry-relevant chemical engineering material from organic and physical chemistry to the finer points of process design. Along the way you’ll get the chance to develop your understanding of the legal and environmental concerns that also play an important role in the industry. Supported by experienced doctorallevel academics you’ll learn through a mix of lectures, tutorials, workshops and practical lab sessions. Underpinning all of our teaching is an emphasis on transferrable skills, so whether you’re getting to grips with instruments in the lab, using industry-specific software packages or working on a group presentation, you’ll get a whole range of opportunities to get hands-on
experience and maximise your employability. Studying on the MEng you’ll have the chance to expand on the solid foundations you’ll get from your Chemistry, Maths and Design modules in your first three years, to complete advanced modules and an advanced research project. It’s a course designed to help set you up for a career in chemical manufacturing, environmental consultancy, nuclear engineering, scale-up and plant design, process plant trouble shooting, oil and gas, water and energy, research and development, patent law and teaching and many other industries, but also to offer that extra breadth and depth of study and research associated with Master’s level courses.
You’ll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience using scientific instrumentation and chemical engineering rigs in our modern labs.
* Whilst this is a new course and therefore no graduate statistics for this specific course are available, 87-92% of graduates from courses in these subject areas at Huddersfield go on to work and/or further study within six months of graduating (Destinations of Leavers Survey 2015/16). ** The endorsement for practical work is an essential part of your Science A Level study, and is a requirement for entry to our degree course.
