Program Overview

Our 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.

Heriot-Watt was ranked 1st in the UK for Chemical Engineering, based on overall student satisfaction, by the 2024 National Student Survey, and 1st in Scotland and 2nd in the UK for quality of teaching and learning opportunities.

The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025 ranked Heriot-Watt 2nd in Scotland and 10th in UK for Chemical Engineering.

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.
