These programmes will provide you with core scientific and engineering knowledge coupled with a range of transferrable skills – analysis, communications, information technologies, management, problem solving and teamwork – to prepare you for a career in areas such as commodity and specialty chemicals, fertilisers, food processing, fuels and energy production, minerals processing, petrochemicals, petroleum refining, pharmaceuticals or water treatment. If you opt to take the BEng/MEng Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering, you will acquire the essential core knowledge and skills of chemical engineering enhanced with an emphasis on the minimisation of environmental impacts, enabling you to create environmentally responsible solutions to the engineering challenges of tomorrow.

We strongly encourage all interested students to apply. Our students come to us with a diverse range of qualifications and we also consider applicants' personal statement, references and interview performance (if you have one) when making a decision. The only way for us to fully determine eligibility is through the submission of a completed application.

September

You will be equipped for a career in chemical engineering, working as a professional in areas such as process and product design or plant management, or for work in other disciplines benefiting from the technical and problem-solving skills you have acquired.

Additionally, the chemical engineering with environmental engineering degrees equip you for a career in environmental engineering, perhaps working as a professional in environment related functions such as waste treatment, pollution control or materials recycling.

As a Nottingham chemical engineering graduate you will be highly sought-after by companies worldwide. With our unique combinations of chemical and environmental engineering, we are well placed to provide multi-skilled graduates to work in a diverse range of industries including energy, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, food and environmental services, as well as government agencies and departments around the world.
