Embark on the Chemical Engineering with a Year in Industry MEng at Queen's University Belfast, a programme designed to equip you with the expertise to tackle global challenges in sustainability and healthcare. You will explore the fundamental principles of chemical engineering, understanding how to design and operate processes that convert materials and energy into essential products. This degree delves into the applied sciences, engineering, technology, finance, and management, enabling you to not only convert materials but also to construct, operate, and manage facilities economically, ethically, and sustainably. You will develop a strong foundation in core chemical engineering subject matter, enhanced by practical laboratory work and computer workshops.
This full-time, on-campus MEng is studied over five years, providing an integrated learning experience that includes a valuable year in industry. During your placement year, you will gain hands-on experience working on impactful projects within sectors such as pharmaceuticals, energy, and manufacturing, both in the UK and internationally. The curriculum progresses through stages, introducing core concepts in Stage 1, computational tools and system design in Stage 2, and advanced topics like biochemical engineering and reactor design in Stages 3 and 5. You will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of chemical engineering, enhanced professional skills, and the practical experience sought by leading employers in diverse global industries.
