This course is about the design and operation of processes for making products such as fuels, medicines, plastics, food and materials for high technology industries. You'll also learn about the production and use of energy.<br>Sustainable manufacturing and clean energy are just two of the myriad challenges facing humanity, that need the skills of chemical engineers.<br><br>From food to energy and pharmaceuticals, chemical engineering is embedded in so many different sectors, and a Chemical Engineering BEng from Sheffield can open doors to a huge range of careers.<br><br>As a department, we emphasise learning through practical experience. That means lab work, projects and open-ended problem-solving. And our state-of-the-art pilot plant gives you the chance to apply what you learn by experimenting with large-scale process equipment. In fact, hands-on experience of using industry standard equipment is integrated throughout the course.<br><br>And of course, well teach how to work in an increasingly digitised manufacturing sector, including computer modelling.<br><br>Along with a fascinating variety of core and optional modules, youll also have the option to either study abroad for a year or spend a year working in industry, gaining real-world experience and connections.<br><br>In your third year, you'll take part in a design project to create a real-world process in its entirety. The design projects recreate what chemical engineers do out in the real world, bringing together everything youve learned into one project and preparing you for your first step into the industry.
