Overview
Throughout the Chemical Engineering (Hons) course from Lancaster University you’ll specialise in chemical engineering from Year 2, developing your core skills as an engineer. Get ready to use team working, creativity and technical skills in your project work as you design to solve real-world problems. You’ll do it all in state-of-the-art facilities across our two engineering buildings.
One of the highlights of Year 3 is solving a whole plant design project over the course of the year. Working in a group, you’ll be taking on conceptual design and evaluating the economic, safety, legislative and ethical assessment standards. It’s a fantastic opportunity to develop project management, team working and technical writing skills as well as studying industrially relevant processes. You’ll also learn about the business and entrepreneurship side of industry too.
Career opportunities:
Chemical engineering is an innovative and interdisciplinary subject area, combining techniques and processes used across the STEM field in order to evolve the world around us. Chemical engineers are therefore in high demand across a huge range of sectors – and our graduates have gone on to pursue careers in energy, oil and gas, manufacturing and much more. Some have even gone on to pursue further study and embark on a career within academia, working at the forefront of scientific research and discovery. The highly-transferable skills you will acquire will make you a desirable employee in many fields – even those beyond traditional engineering career destinations. Graduates with our engineering degrees are well-paid too, with a median salary of £32,00015 months after graduation (HESA Graduate Outcomes Survey 2024).
