Career opportunities
Many graduates enter roles in industry as design engineers, consultants or undertake research and development of new products. Others use the skills they have gained for a career in non chemical-engineering sectors such as business, finance, marketing, banking, insurance, accountancy and IT.
Many graduates move into senior management. Fields are as diverse as food and drink, chemicals, oil, gas and petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, toiletries, energy generation and disposal of waste. Specialists in business management are in demand for management roles within the chemical engineering sector, but also for careers in finance, consulting and marketing. A high proportion of our graduates have successful management careers.
