Chemical engineers play a vital role in society by optimizing resource management, safeguarding the environment, and overseeing health and safety protocols.
If you possess both talent and curiosity about physical phenomena, are intrigued by how chemical processes and material properties can be leveraged to develop transformative technologies, and aspire to enhance human life through innovation, Chemical Engineering may be your ideal path.
This field focuses on altering substances' chemical, biochemical, or physical states to safely and efficiently transform raw materials into valuable products. Common examples include petroleum, plastics, and synthetic textiles - all manufactured from crude oil extracted as a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, water, and natural gas.
Our MEng/BEng Chemical Engineering programs provide comprehensive training that meets all standard industry requirements, preparing graduates for diverse career opportunities. Situated in Aberdeen, Europe's energy hub, our strong industry connections offer students unparalleled access to the oil and gas sector from their first academic year.
The University is currently undertaking significant infrastructure improvements, including a specialized chemical engineering lab and cutting-edge computational and educational spaces within the Engineering School.
