Course Overview

Studying for a Chemical Engineering degree provides expert training in modern process engineering, developing analytical and problem-solving skills critical to applying engineering to industry. Chemical engineers work closely with processes that turn raw materials into valuable human-use products. Their skills ensure that natural resources are used sustainably and that the disposal of by-products is conducted safely and environmentally friendly. This professionally accredited degree course provides knowledge and skills across the full spectrum of chemical engineering topics, allowing you to keep your career options open.

General Eligibility

Variable offers depend on subjects studied, and all applications are considered individually, with GCSE grades, AS Level subjects and grades, work experience, references and personal statements taken into account.

Or 32 overall with either 5 at HL (or 6 at SL) “Mathematics: analysis and approaches”, or 5 at HL (or 7 at SL) “Mathematics: applications and interpretation”

Students studying for BTEC qualifications in relevant subjects require D*D*D* - D*D*D to include B at Level Mathematics. If they are not taking Level Mathematics, they must achieve a minimum D in the ‘Mathematics for Technicians and D in the ‘Further Mathematics for Technicians modules of the BTEC. Students must also have a minimum of two A grades at GCSE, including a minimum degree B in Mathematics and two other Science subjects.
