Chemical Engineering (as part of CCEE) came top of the 2009 NSS in those subjects with a 98% overall satisfaction amongst graduating students.
Chemical engineering will appeal to you if you are interested in the application of science and technology to problems that affect almost everything we use in our lives. Without the contributions of chemical engineers, we would be living in the 1930s with respect to our homes and travel. No planes or cars just steam trains (major polluters of the environment). No soap-powders or shampoo. The NHS could afford fewer drugs and electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers would be true luxuries. Do you want to learn how to make this sort of difference? Chemical Engineers will be at the forefront of the changes that need to be made to limit global warming. They will be refining new biofuels and capturing CO2 gas.
A chemical engineering programme is designed and accredited as a preparation for becoming a chartered engineer. A degree in chemical engineering will equip you with problem solving, analytical and other transferable skills to enable you to succeed in whatever career you pursue.
