Course summary
Studying in Hull puts you at the heart of the chemical engineering industry, with big names like BP, Smith+Nephew and INEOS on our doorstep. You’ll train to apply science to the processes used to change materials into useful products: food and drink, fertilisers, pharmaceuticals, energy and fuel. Boost your employability by training at CATCH, the £12m, internationally recognised training facility for the Centre for Assessment of Technical Competency Humber. You’ll experience life as a chemical engineer, using equipment and identifying hazards. Like all our Engineering courses, Chemical Engineering shares a common first year, which means you can choose to switch to a different pathway in your second year. On our five-year Integrated Masters (MEng) with Placement Year option, you study a year at postgraduate level and spend a year in industry gaining real-world experience on top of your degree. The Humber is home to over 350 engineering and process companies, so you’ll be in a prime spot to access a range of placements. And by studying a Masters, you'll further extend the depth and breadth of your knowledge and earn an MEng qualification. This fully meets the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer status, which opens even more doors to future employment and research opportunities. Why study at Hull?
