Overview
You’ll get the knowledge and hands-on experience you need to operate in a range of industry sectors, learning in a research-informed, multidisciplinary environment.
Your studies will give you a deep understanding of fundamental and advanced technical principles such as:
- fluid mechanics
- thermodynamics
- mass and heat transfer
- chemical reactions
- process control
- safety, health and environment
You’ll also gain practical experience with analytical tools, and the competencies required to apply this knowledge in industry.
The Chemical Engineering (Hons) programme from the University of Bradford has extensive links to industry. Our Lecturers are actively working on research projects with industry, with recent research projects linked to leading pharmaceutical, oil, gas, petrochemical and advanced material engineering companies.
Career prospects
The chemical and allied industry is expected to grow more rapidly than the average for the whole of manufacturing industry. This, when coupled with the increasing appreciation of the value of chemical engineering in many areas such as the foodstuffs and pharmaceutical industry, metals extraction, medical science, and environmental protection, means your prospects as a graduate are bright. Recent graduates have gained employment at organisations including:
- Unilever
- Lorien Engineering Solutions
- SUEZ UK
- Pladis Global
- IMI Precision Engineering
- British Sugar
- KPMG
Starting salaries of graduates in chemical and process engineering are relatively high, and later career chemical engineers are amongst the best paid of the engineering specialisms.
