Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology

Main page content

The Chemical Engineering and BiotechnologyÌýcourse is multidisciplinary, with an emphasis on applying science to solve real-world problems in the process and biotechnology industries. The course has a new structure from 2023: in the first year, students study Chemistry and Mathematics fromÌýNatural Sciences with the remainder of teaching in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology. The four-year full-time course qualifiesÌýstudents for both the BA and MEng degrees andÌýis accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers. It is possible to graduate after three years with just the BA degree. More details about the course can be found on the University .
