With its combination of chemistry, analytical sciences and chemical engineering, this course will put you at the forefront of technology development that could change the world.
You’ll work on product innovation, from the laboratory through to large-scale production, with a focus on efficient industrial processes to use less energy and produce less waste.
Your chemistry studies will ensure you have a theoretical understanding of analytical, instrumental, organic, inorganic and physical chemistry while you receive hands-on experience in the lab.
The chemical engineering component will bring together the science, practice and design, with a practical and vocational focus.
Learning and teaching
Throughout your study in this degree you will experience a range of learning formats, including lectures, tutorials, laboratories, site visits, online learning, and individual and group work. Your time spent in the laboratory is particularly important, and will give your theoretical learnings practical contexts, and will hone your skills in teamwork and time management as required by industry.
