Chemical engineers take science out of the laboratory and into the real world. They turn raw materials into useful products through changing their properties or how they interact with each other.
Chemical engineers can be involved in a hugely diverse range of work, from designing and building cleaner nuclear power plants to ensuring clean water supplies through creating catalytic reactions which destroy harmful organic matter in water.
You develop your knowledge and skills in a region well known for its links with the chemical and engineering industries. This course is ideal if you are aiming for a senior technical or supervisory position in the chemical and biochemical process industries, or for further study leading to a BEng or MEng degree.
How you learn
You attend formal lectures and tutorial sessions as well as carry out laboratory and workshop practical sessions. You also receive guidance throughout the programme.
How you are assessed
You are required to complete three pieces of in-course assessment in each module which can be in the form of written assignments, laboratory reports or time-constrained assessments. In addition, vocation-specific modules carry an end-of-unit examination.
Career opportunities
This course has been designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge which will enable you to gain employment within the process industry and related industries in the area of management. If you complete the HND successfully, you may progress to the second year of the BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering or another appropriate degree such as the Foundation Degree in Chemical Technology.
Entry requirements
To enter Year 1, you're expected to have GCSE English (grade C or above) and good grades in maths, chemistry or physics at Level 3 (for example A level, BTEC ND, ACCESS, IB).
You're normally invited for an interview, when you can also see our excellent facilities and meet staff and students. You then receive an individual offer. If you can't come for an interview, a typical offer might be 120 tariff points including at least grade D in Level 3 maths and chemistry or physics. Key Skills and General Studies don't normally count towards the tariff point requirement.
