Your first year will provide an introduction to the core principles of engineering, maths, and science, with a focus on chemistry, thermodynamics, the principles of chemical engineering, and engineering mathematics.

Modules

Compulsory Modules Credits
Chemistry 25
Thermodynamics 10
Transfer Processes 25
Principles of Chemical Engineering 25
Computing and Numerical Methods 10
Data Analysis in Process Industries 5
Engineering Mathematics I 20

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

Modules

Compulsory Modules Credits
Separation Processes 1 20
Transfer Processes 2 20
Reactor Engineering 10
Process Development Science and Analysis 10
Thermodynamics 2 10
Process Measurement, Dynamics & Control 10
