The MEng programme explores the fundamentals of chemical and process engineering. This grounding in science, maths and engineering will provide you with both the theoretical and practical abilities highly sought after by industry. After graduation, you can build upon these skills to become a professional engineer.

The MEng programme is a five-year degree which shares the same first four years with the BEng programme. You choose which route to follow at the end of your 4th year, giving you the flexibility to decide which degree best suits your career ambitions.

The final year of the MEng programme offers a range of advanced courses to broaden and deepen students’ understanding of chemical and process engineering. Students study optional courses from a range of specialist engineering subjects along with an extensive research project. Final year MEng students also undertake a commercial tender-based exercise taking on the role of an engineering design house pitching for business to our industrial advisory board.
