Chemical Engineering


Optional one year placement after year 3 Chemical Engineering:


MEng & BEng Degree Programmes: • Chemical Engineering • Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering


The majority of Chemical Engineering students who go on placement are on MEng programmes having completed three full academic years of study and are extremely well equipped to deal with a role in industry. On placement, our students perform to a high degree and in many cases have made a substantial financial, technical and operational impact to the employing company. Many of our students are offered permanent employment after graduating, or are fast tracked to graduate schemes.

Amy Lake


MEng (hons) Chemical Engineering Employed at BP as a Chemical Process Engineer in the Process Safety Department at Sunbury.


“My contribution to the BP team has been varied and enabled me to apply my chemical engineering knowledge to real life problems. I researched flare systems and amine processes, and gathered examples of best practice from operating experience to write a report which will be used to improve the design of these systems in the future. I have contributed at a HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) to safely dewater a subsea pipeline.


I made proposals on a CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis, checking gravity separator designs and performing orifice calculations on relief valves.


In addition, I applied my software knowledge by creating an energy efficiency website using Microsoft SharePoint and modelled processes using Apsen Hysys.”
