If you don't have appropriate qualifications in maths or science, this course is for you: the foundation year provides you with a concentrated course of maths, chemistry or physics, and engineering. On successful completion, you move straight into the first year of either our BEng or MEng degree course.
Sustainable manufacturing, clean energy, and innovative healthcare are just a few of the pressing challenges that need the creativity and expertise of chemical engineers.
If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing the foundation year, you can start a BEng or MEng degree.
At Sheffield, we’ll equip you with the skills to tackle global challenges and make a real impact in industries shaping the future.
A chemical engineering degree from Sheffield opens the door to a diverse and rewarding career in industries that shape our world.
We emphasise learning through practical experience. That means lab work, projects and open-ended problem-solving. And our state-of-the-art pilot plant gives you the chance to apply what you learn by experimenting with large-scale process equipment. In fact, hands-on experience of using industry standard equipment is integrated throughout the course.
Chemical engineering is rapidly evolving, and we’ll make sure you’re ahead of the curve. You’ll gain essential skills for an increasingly digital manufacturing world, including advanced computer modelling techniques. These skills are critical for future-proofing your career in a tech-driven, sustainable economy.
You’ll have the opportunity to study abroad or take part in a year-long industry placement. Both options offer a chance to gain real-world experience and build valuable international and industry connections that will help you stand out when you graduate.
In your third year, you’ll take on a design project, where you’ll create a real-world process from start to finish, replicating the work of chemical engineers in the industry. This comprehensive, hands-on project will integrate everything you’ve learned preparing you for your first step into the industry.
The Chemical Engineering BEng is accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers on behalf of the Engineering Council, for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer, and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. The Chemical Engineering MEng fully meets the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
