Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Chemical Engineering University of Surrey, UK

Chemical engineering is the applied science of turning raw materials into everyday products. It is also a pivotal field in driving sustainability and shaping a greener future. Our BEng and MEng Chemical Engineering degrees will inspire and challenge you to cultivate pioneering and sustainable solutions to global problems.

• Sustainability is at the heart of our chemical engineering courses. You’ll gain the knowledge and skills needed to help create renewable solutions for a greener future.  
• Our chemical engineering course will equip you with the technical skills and problem-solving mindset required to tackle real-world engineering problems, preparing you for a fulfilling career in the chemical and process industries.
• On this course, you’ll get the chance to experience the complete chemical engineering process: our £1.7 million chemical engineering facility includes a fully operational pilot process plant, which you’ll use during your course and operate as part of a team in your third year. You can also take part in our award-winning Professional Training placements programme, which prepares students for roles in industry.
• Alongside general university scholarships and bursaries, our extensive contacts in industry have resulted in prizes being awarded to undergraduates by Armfield, Atkins, Halliburton KBR, Air Products, UOP, IChemE and the Worshipful Company of Engineers.

Our courses combine traditional chemical engineering topics with multidisciplinary design and biochemical engineering. Course content addresses major industry challenges and issues including sustainability, clean methods of production, waste management and energy generation.

You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The MEng builds on the BEng with a masters year, known as an integrated masters, and is the direct route to becoming a chartered engineer. Students on our MEng may take part in a multidisciplinary project working with other engineering students across the University.
