Overview

The Chemical Engineering with Foundation Year (Hons) course from University of Wolverhampton is aimed squarely at producing engineers. We will ensure you have the correct balance of underpinning science, mathematical skill, and core chemical engineering to ensure that you will have second-to-none employment qualities and expectation.

What's unique about this course?

Accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE)

Access to small and large scale pilot plants

Access to design workspace & industrial standard process simulation

Taught in our state-of-the-art City Campus

What happens on the course?

Alongside IChemE and in consultation with some of the UK’s leading Universities and global companies, we have designed a 21st century curriculum for 21st century students to produce 21st century engineers.

The teaching schedule is broadly split into three parts. We will provide the underpinning science and mathematics, giving you an introduction to what chemical engineering really is and the global impact it can have.

We’ll then give you a deep understanding of how chemical engineers solve problems and the vital knowledge required to make products and process raw material efficiently and cleanly.

We’re then going to challenge you to design your own processes and methods of manufacture, helping you discover how the physical world works and ultimately what sort of engineer you want to be and how you’ll get there.
