MEng Hons Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering including an Industrial Year

The University of Nottingham offers a MEng Hons Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering, a comprehensive five-year program designed to equip students with advanced knowledge in chemical processes while integrating principles of environmental sustainability. The inclusion of an Industrial Year provides practical exposure to real-world engineering challenges, preparing graduates for a range of careers in the chemical, energy, and environmental sectors.

Year 1: Students develop a strong foundation in core chemical engineering principles, including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, process calculations, and chemistry. Modules also cover mathematics, physics, and computing, essential for analytical problem-solving in engineering contexts.

Year 2: The focus shifts to more specialized topics such as reaction engineering, heat and mass transfer, process control, and environmental engineering fundamentals. Laboratory and group projects introduce hands-on experimentation and data analysis skills, fostering collaborative learning.

Year 3 (Industrial Year): Students gain full-time industry experience, applying their academic knowledge to practical engineering challenges in chemical, energy, or environmental sectors. This year enhances professional skills, project management abilities, and industry networking, bridging the gap between academia and employment.

Year 4: Advanced chemical engineering subjects are covered, including process design, environmental impact assessment, sustainability, and advanced materials. Students work on design projects and research-led assignments, integrating theory with practical applications.

Year 5: The final year consolidates learning through a capstone research project and optional advanced modules in environmental engineering and process optimization. Emphasis is placed on innovation, problem-solving, and preparing students for leadership roles in their future careers.

Accreditation:
The program is accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), ensuring it meets the professional standards required for a career as a Chartered Chemical Engineer.

Campus Location:
The University of Nottingham’s Jubilee Campus hosts state-of-the-art chemical engineering laboratories, pilot plant facilities, and sustainable process labs, offering students access to cutting-edge resources for both research and practical learning.
