Course summary

Launch your career as a highly sought-after environmental engineer with our BEng Environmental Engineering programme. As populations grow and the demand for resources increases, the need to produce smarter, safer and cleaner solutions has never been greater. This course prepares you to design processes and products that minimise environmental impact; protect air, land and water; and make the most of our planet’s finite resources. You’ll graduate ready to engineer solutions that protect, preserve and restore the planet for future generations. What sets this course apart is its focus on industrial relevance and a dynamic, hands-on approach to learning. You’ll engage in practical laboratory work, design and problem-based projects, independent and peer-led learning, and research grounded in real industrial challenges. From the start, you’ll build key design skills and apply them to design projects throughout your studies. Why choose this course?

  • Top 5 for Chemical Engineering in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025 and The Guardian University Guide 2025
  • World top 100 for Chemical Engineering (QS Top World University Rankings by Subject 2025)
  • Accredited by the IChemE (Institution of Chemical Engineers)
