Chemical Engineering with Study in Europe The University of Manchester

Overview

The full foreign language course will include spoken language, grammar and some technical vocabulary. During your year abroad you will attend lectures and tutorials, participate in group work, write reports and take exams in the local language. You will also undertake a research project during your third year that will be assessed as part of your year abroad.

Across the four-year Chemical Engineering with Study in Europe at The University of Manchester  you will not only learn the fundamentals of this key subject; you will also have the opportunity to specialise in advanced areas, covering the key themes of modelling and energy. 

In fourth year you will undertake an open-ended team project to design a complete production process, with previous examples including the sustainable production of chemicals such as propylene oxide and ethylene glycol from waste. Our design teams have won more IChemE Macnab-Lacey Prize for their efforts than any other university.

Career opportunities

Graduates have progressed to careers in food and drink, chemicals, oil or gas; some have gone into petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, fast-moving consumer goods, energy generation, or waste treatment. 

Roles for a chemical engineering graduate can vary, including product design, research and development, project management, and manufacturing. You could even use the skills you gain to pursue a career in a non-chemical engineering sector, such as business, finance, marketing, banking, insurance, accountancy, or IT - your job could take you anywhere in the world.
