BA/BS in Chemical Engineering

Core topics include thermodynamics, process design and catalysis, combining chemistry with engineering methods to design and optimise large-scale processes that turn out chemicals, fuels, food, pharmaceuticals and advanced materials, with coursework touching sustainable technology for energy, health and environmental uses. Most of the first year overlaps with the Chemistry programme, giving a shared foundation before specialisation begins in the second year. Teaching also covers how chemical engineers must think beyond laboratory results, weighing factors such as cost, safety and scalability when developing new processes and materials.
