Stage 1 will provide an introduction to the core principles of engineering, maths, and science. You will focus on chemistry, thermodynamics, the principles of chemical engineering, and engineering mathematics.

During Stage 2, you will further develop the knowledge and skills gained in Stage 1, alongside areas such as separation processes, reactor engineering, and process measurement. 

Stage 3 will be spent on placement within a chemical/process engineering company. During this time, you'll work as part of a team of professional engineers on an industrial problem defined by your host company. You'll also be able to complete chemical engineering modules via distance learning. 

This is subject to successful completion of Stage 2 with an overall pass threshold of 65%.

In your final stage, you will return to the university and study carefully selected modules, chosen to enhance the technical experience gained during your placement. You will also complete a research project and individual design project.
