This program focuses on designing and managing manufacturing processes for products like fuels, pharmaceuticals, polymers, food items, and advanced materials. You'll also explore energy generation and utilization.
Sustainable production and renewable energy represent just a few of the global challenges requiring chemical engineering expertise.
Chemical engineering plays a vital role across diverse industries from food processing to energy and medicine. A Chemical Engineering BEng degree from Sheffield unlocks opportunities in numerous professional fields.
Our department prioritizes experiential learning through laboratory sessions, project work, and open-ended challenges. Our cutting-edge pilot plant allows you to implement your knowledge by working with full-scale industrial equipment. Practical training using professional-grade apparatus is incorporated throughout the curriculum.
We'll also prepare you for modern digital manufacturing environments, including computational modeling techniques.
Beyond comprehensive core and elective modules, you can choose to spend a year studying overseas or gaining industry experience through a work placement, building valuable professional networks.
During your final year, you'll undertake a comprehensive design project to develop an actual industrial process from start to finish. These projects mirror real-world chemical engineering work, integrating all your acquired knowledge into a single initiative that prepares you for entering the profession.
