BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering

This course is about the design and operation of processes for making products such as fuels, medicines, plastics, food and materials for high technology industries. You'll also learn about the production and use of energy. Sustainable manufacturing, clean energy and innovative healthcare are just a few of the pressing challenges that need the creativity and expertise of chemical engineers. At Sheffield, we’ll equip you with the skills to tackle global challenges and make a real impact in industries shaping the future. Chemical engineering plays a key role in essential sectors such as energy, food production, and pharmaceuticals. A Chemical Engineering BEng from Sheffield opens the door to a diverse and rewarding career in industries that shape our world. We emphasise learning through practical experience. That means lab work, projects and open-ended problem-solving. And our state-of-the-art pilot plant gives you the chance to apply what you learn by experimenting with large-scale process equipment. In fact, hands-on experience of using industry standard equipment is integrated throughout the course. Chemical engineering is rapidly evolving, and we’ll make sure you’re ahead of the curve. You’ll gain essential skills for an increasingly digital manufacturing world, including advanced computer modelling techniques. These skills are critical for future-proofing your career in a tech-driven, sustainable economy.
