Chemical Engineering MEng (Hons)

4 years, starting in September 2027

Create your personalised prospectus Find out about our scholarships Apply to Bath

Develop the technical and professional skills to pursue a range of careers as a chemical engineer and more.

Our course introduces you to the core principles and practices of chemical engineering. It develops your professional skills in engineering, mathematics, science, information technology, research, design, communication and management.

Through lectures and practical lab sessions, you’ll learn how to gather and assess data to develop industrial strategies. You’ll explore new technologies and gain a comprehensive understanding of process design. Your studies will give you the confidence to critically apply scientific and engineering knowledge.

You’ll also develop transferable skills such as problem solving, teamwork and resource management. Integrating these with your technical knowledge, you’ll learn how to tackle complex, and often open-ended, engineering problems.

Individual and group projects are a key feature of your studies and a chance for you to develop scientific ideas from bench scale to process scale. You’ll apply your engineering knowledge to a full chemical process such as designing an anaerobic digester, a water treatment facility for a refugee camp, or a low-carbon ammonia synthesis plant.

Learn from experts in the field

Our department’s great staff and student community provides a friendly and supportive environment to learn in. We deliver teaching complemented by guest lectures from practitioners to give you a professional and practical perspective on the subject. You’ll learn from expert academic staff whose industrial collaborations, research and entrepreneurial activities feed into our teaching and contribute to your learning experience.

Use specialist facilities

Specialist facilities are central to your study experience. Our laboratory facilities range from bench scale to pilot scale and are specially equipped to enhance your education in becoming a chemical engineer. You’ll have access to:

Play a video tour of our laboratory facilities to see the equipment you could be using as part of your degree.

Start your future here

Chemical engineering is one of the highest-paid professions in the UK. With a degree from Bath, you can be confident that you’ll graduate with the specific engineering knowledge as well as valuable transferable skills to help start your career. You could take on technical and managerial roles across industry and commercial sectors. For example, you could follow a career in alternative fuels, healthcare industries, water treatment, production of consumables such as foodstuffs and toiletries in the fast moving consumer goods industries, and oil and gas. When you graduate, you’ll be able to adapt to a variety of roles in a changing world and discipline.

Find out what our graduates go on to do.

Before you apply for a course, please check the website for the most recently published course detail.

We understand that you will want to know more about the shape of the academic year. We work hard and plan for different scenarios, to be able to welcome you to the University of Bath at the start of each semester.

Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Units

At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.

As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) in each academic year. Credits are usually split evenly across your two semesters of study. 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) are the equivalent of 1,200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.

All credits displayed on this page are ECTS credits.

Learning and teaching

Contact hours

Our teaching for this course is delivered through in-person learning on campus, supported by high quality online provision.

In your first year, you'll typically have around 15 hours of timetabled sessions a week, made up of lectures, seminars, and laboratory classes. Most of your contact hours throughout the course will be in person, and this will be enhanced by some online delivery which will make up a smaller proportion of these contact hours, depending on your programme of study, year of study and chosen optional units. You may also carry out additional activities such as a few online learning sessions (not live), skills development sessions, and personal tutorials.

In later years, the amount of timetabled sessions on campus may vary based on the options you choose, with a greater emphasis on independent learning. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work. This may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year.

Overall workload and independent learning

Outside your timetabled contact hours, you're expected to carry out independent learning and assessment activities to support your studies. Typically, you should expect to spend a total of 35 to 40 hours on scheduled sessions and independent study each week. Examples of independent activities may include:

Assessment breakdown

The balance of the assessment by examinations and assessment by coursework may depend on the optional modules you choose. As guide, approximately 60% of assessment is by coursework over the duration of the course. The final degree classification is determined by your second, third and final year marks and each contributes 20%, 40% and 40% respectively.

We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information.

We are currently working with the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) towards the successful reaccreditation of our MEng degrees.

As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).

The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.

‘The research project is a good opportunity to get stuck into something that particularly interests you. I think it's furthered my ability to go out and learn new things really independently.’

— Luke Wilson Luke Wilson, MEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering with placement year (Graduating year, 2017)

Your application, especially your personal statement, should explain your motivation for choosing this degree and any relevant non-academic interests and achievements. Your application is more likely to be successful if you demonstrate a strong interest in chemical engineering through relevant reading, extracurricular or co-curricular activities, or work experience.

You will need a strong performance in both Chemistry and Mathematics as part of your entry qualifications.

We know that the context in which you are studying can have an impact on your ability to perform your best in exams and coursework, or limit which subjects or qualifications you are able to study at your school or college. We consider any application based on its merits, including your background and circumstances, including through:
