MEng Hons Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering

The University of Nottingham offers the MEng Hons Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering, a four-year integrated program designed to equip students with a solid foundation in chemical engineering principles, while also focusing on the critical field of environmental engineering. The course combines theoretical understanding with practical experience, preparing graduates for careers in chemical process industries, sustainable engineering, and environmental consultancy.

Year 1: Students build a strong foundation in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and introductory engineering principles. They are introduced to environmental science and sustainable practices, gaining an early understanding of how chemical processes interact with the environment. Laboratory work and practical workshops help develop essential skills in experimentation and data analysis.

Year 2: The focus shifts to core chemical engineering topics, including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, reaction engineering, and materials science. Environmental modules explore waste management, pollution control, and environmental monitoring. Students engage in hands-on laboratory work and small-scale design projects, fostering problem-solving and teamwork.

Year 3: Students advance to specialized chemical and environmental engineering modules, including process design, energy systems, and sustainable technologies. Industrial placements or research projects provide valuable real-world experience, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges. Focus is also placed on environmental legislation, risk assessment, and process optimization.

Year 4: The final year integrates all prior learning through major design projects and individual research, emphasizing sustainable process solutions and environmental impact assessment. Students develop advanced skills in process modelling, simulation, and project management, preparing them for professional practice or further study.

Accreditation:
The program is accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), ensuring it meets professional standards and supports progression toward chartered engineer status.

Campus Location:
The University of Nottingham’s main campus offers state-of-the-art laboratories, process simulation facilities, and collaborative workspaces. Students benefit from a supportive academic environment and access to cutting-edge environmental and chemical engineering resources.
