Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering including an Industrial Year MEng Hons
Program Overview
This accredited Chemical and Environmental Engineering program combines engineering and environmental science, equipping graduates to design processes that minimize environmental impact in areas like waste disposal, energy, and water supply. Graduates develop interdisciplinary knowledge and professional skills, opening up diverse career opportunities in industries such as energy, chemical manufacturing, and government agencies.
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

Entry Requirements:
UK entry requirements
- A level AAA Required subjects A in Maths and A in either chemistry or physics. GCSE English grade 4 (C). Excluded subjects General studies, critical thinking and citizenship studies are not accepted.
Alternative qualifications
Applications are assessed on an individual basis. RQF Level 3 BTEC National Diploma in science subject grades D D and A Level Mathematics grade A RQF Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in any subject grade D plus A Levels grades AA including Maths and one of Physics or Chemistry Access to HE Diploma 36 Level 3 credits at Distinctions including 15 Mathematics credits and 15 Engineering/Science credits and 9 Level 3 credits graded Merit The entry requirements for alternative qualifications can be quite specific; for example you may need to take certain modules and achieve a specified grade in those modules. Please contact us to discuss the transferability of your qualification.
Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
If you have already achieved your EPQ at grade A you will automatically be offered one grade lower in a non-mandatory A level subject. If you are still studying for your EPQ you will receive the standard course offer, and also an alternate offer with a condition of one grade lower in a non-mandatory A level subject if you achieve an A grade in your EPQ. If you qualify for a contextual offer, your EPQ will be taken into consideration and the appropriate adjustment will be made to your offer.
Contextual offers
We make contextual offers to students who may have experienced barriers that have restricted progress at school or college. To qualify for a contextual offer, you must have Home/UK fee status and meet specific criteria – check if you’re eligible.
Foundation progression options
An Engineering and Physical Sciences foundation year is available for those who are not taking the required subjects.
Mature students
At the University of Nottingham, we have a valuable community of mature students and we appreciate their contribution to the wider student population.
