Educational aims of the programme
- Under a nurturing environment with hands on experience, we aim to develop students into professional chemical engineers with holistic understanding of core concepts on process/chemical systems and to meet global challenges with this thinking, and be prepared for future employment and learning. Our programmes have been developed in consultation with industry with key aims to: -Produce graduates equipped with specialist advanced knowledge in chemical engineering skills from mathematical modelling of whole systems through the detailed analysis of unit operations to practical process operation -Produces graduates capable of contributing to the needs of the wider chemical industry in the context of current economic, social and environmental pressures -Produces graduates of chemical engineering of high employability where they are equipped with advanced technical skills and problem-solving mindset required to tackle real-world engineering challenges in the chemical and process industry. -Produces graduates who are able to undertake self-directed and open-ended research within the discipline -Offer opportunity for students to develop advanced digital capabilities such as machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches to solving engineering problems and to take part in a multidisciplinary project working with other engineering students across the University. -Provides an education that satisfies the educational part of the requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer through accreditation by the Institution of Chemical Engineers
