Chemical Engineering UCL

Overview

The Chemical Engineering BEng and MEng, follow a common curriculum for the first three years. A final decision between the different programmes can be delayed until the end of the third year when you will have greater experience on which to base your choice. Suitably qualified BEng candidates can change to MEng at the end of year three. Students on the MEng programme have the option to spend their final year following the Chemical Engineering; Chemical with Biochemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering with Chemistry; Chemical Engineering with Engineering Mathematics; or the Study Abroad route.In year three you will undertake a compulsory design project, carried out in small teams. Each team designs a complete process plant, including detailed unit design (of, for example, a reactor or a distillation or absorption column), environmental impact, safety and risk assessment, process control and costing.

Your final year may include a research project, compulsory advanced modules, and other options, depending on your chosen route.
