Overview

Chemical engineers play a vital role in finding solutions to 21st century challenges, such as providing people with clean water, medicines, food and fuel.

Our graduates design and operate industrial processes that turn raw materials into valuable products, minimising their environmental impact.

What you’ll study

The first year of the the Chemical Engineering degree at the University of Strathclyde focuses on basic principles and fundamentals of chemical engineering.

In second year, you'll study core chemical engineering areas such as process analysis and statistics, fluid flow and heat transfer and safety.

The third year of study include areas such as reactors, biochemical engineering and materials and processes.

For BEng students, the final year of study includes particle technology, multiphase systems and process control. The second semester is entirely devoted to the chemical engineering design project.

Careers

Chemical engineers are among the best rewarded engineers globally, and work across all sectors of industry from energy and foods to pharmaceuticals and medicine, as well as branching out into other areas such as finance and management.

The department works closely with the University Careers Service through every year of our course, to support students in building excellent employability skills and portfolios of experience.
