Course Overview

This course is the perfect way to progress your career in chemical engineering. You can study to Honours level without leaving your job.

It's ideal if you're already working as a technician and want to become an engineer. Or if you're an engineer or scientist wo another discipline and want to move into chemical engineering.

If you're successful in getting into the course, you'll receive half of your credits:

  • in recognition of prior study 

  • in recognition of your current industry experience 

You'll get the remaining credits from studying the course part-time over three or four years, distance learning.

General Eligibility

  • Higher National Diploma (HND), or international equivalent, in chemical engineering with some chemical engineering-related industrial experience

  • Higher National Certificate (HNC) (or international equivalent) in chemical engineering with significant related industrial experience

  • Similar qualifications to HND or HNC, or higher, in a related discipline, e.g. applied chemistry, mechanical engineering etc. You may need to complete some bridging courses.

  • Other combinations (like the above) that have given you enough relevant background information to enter the degree at the equivalent to Year 3 in the full-time programme

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.
