Chemical Engineering with Environmental Technology (4 Years) [MEng]

A combination of learning and teaching methods are used to maximise your understanding of the subject. Lectures are often followed by tutorials where you are given exercises to complete and advice to check your understanding.

Problem Based Learning methods are also used, where you study problems in small groups and identify your own learning objectives. Here, you direct your own learning and choose the most appropriate learning resources such as books, IT resources, notes, lectures and experiments.

Design projects bring together all the subjects you have learned on the programme, giving you the opportunity to apply the knowledge and techniques you have been studying. You do laboratory experiments throughout the programme including some large scale ones in the pilot scale laboratory, the only one of its type and size in a British university.

Work is assessed by examination and course work. Laboratories and design projects are assessed by course work only, while other subjects generally have between 10% and 25% course work. Course work includes, for example, laboratory reports, design project reports, problem sheets, oral presentations and class tests. You do a final year dissertation which reports research into a scientific or technical problem relating to your specialist area. You may, if you wish, undertake this project in Singapore, France, Germany or Spain.
