Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering MEng Hons

Program Overview

This Chemical and Environmental Engineering program combines engineering knowledge with environmental principles to enable students to design processes and products that minimize environmental impact. Graduates are equipped with transferable skills in project management and business analysis, opening up career opportunities in industries such as energy, pharmaceuticals, and government agencies worldwide. Accredited by IChemE and IOM3, the program provides an optional year in industry and support for employability skills development.

Program Outline

Degree Overview:

Through combining chemical with environmental engineering, you will design processes and products that minimize impacts on air, land, and water. As a chemical and environmental engineer, you will work with the following areas: Disposal of waste Environmental compliance – reducing the impact of spills and emissions Flooding and drainage Infrastructure and development Management of pollutants Recovery of damaged land (damaged through mining, farming, or landfill) Water supply and sanitation Food and drink Energy Pharmaceuticals Consumer products Oil and gas We support you to develop the engineering knowledge and professional skills to design the processes that make the products we all rely on. To support your graduate career, you will develop transferable skills in: Project management Business management Finance Analytics Teamwork
