This course is distinctive as it covers the theory of chemical engineering coupled with computer simulation laboratory practice and industrial placement that enable graduates to be well equipped with desired skills sought after by employers.

The course consists of modules with a total credit value of 360 credits which are made up of 14 standard modules of 20 points each and a project module of 40 points (in third). Each you need to complete 120 credits.

In the first you are introduced to basic engineering principles and design and fundamentals of chemical engineering. The second focuses on core unit operations such as fluid flow thermodynamics chemical reactions separation processes process design and simulation and control.

In final the course further trains you in areas of process safety and control chemical process engineering and clean technologies. The students apply all the knowledge gained in their previous study into design project covering from raw materials to final desired products.

After two-years study you are encouraged to opt to having one industrial placement (sandwich course).
