**Chemical Engineering is a highly versatile and interdisciplinary subject. It applies the principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, and economics to transform energy and materials into useful and affordable products. It covers the research, design and operation of new and existing processes to minimise environmental impacts, ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards, and maximise profits and benefits to society.**Chemical engineers take leading roles in many different sectors, including energy, water, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, and even finance. They use their sought-after technical know-how and ingenuity to develop solutions to many of the world’s most pressing challenges, such as climate change and the large-scale production of new vaccines.Our Chemical Engineering degree is designed with this in mind. You will learn specialist scientific and engineering skills and how to apply them to real-world problems, so you'll graduate ready to begin an exciting and successful career.You'll learn from academics who conduct world-leading research to drive the sustainable revolution in areas such as low-carbon technologies, next-generation healthcare and advanced manufacturing. Our research directly informs our teaching and project work, ensuring that course content stays up to date and relevant to what the industry needs.Our bench and pilot-scale laboratories, VR simulation, computer classes and project work will allow you to gain valuable hands-on experience as well as develop key teamwork and IT skills.You will also undertake a design project which brings together the theory and techniques you have learnt during your degree. This includes initial technology selection and flowsheet development, detailed design of individual unit operation, process optimisation, safety and operability analysis and full economic and environmental evaluation.We offer a variety of optional modules on topics ranging from healthcare engineering to business systems, allowing you to tailor your studies to fit your interests. There are also opportunities to boost your employability through a year-long professional placement, studying abroad, or learning a language.During the MEng degree, you will complete a Professional Development Project (PDP). This is where you can join a research group at Loughborough, in industry or abroad, to develop new knowledge in science or engineering. The PDP is an excellent opportunity to gain first-hand insight into our ground-breaking research. You will also acquire key transferable skills, such as project planning, reporting and data analysis. Recent projects have ranged from electrochemical harvesting of CO2 for renewable chemical production to the development of microfluidic manufacturing devices and the application of artificial neural networks to predict material behaviour.### **What is the difference between MEng and BEng?**The three years of the BEng degree and the first three years of the MEng degree are identical, with a good mix of theory, application and practical content from day one. The additional year of the MEng programme allows students to study a wider range of technical subjects with additional depth, as well as undertaking the Professional Development Project (PDP), which can be undertaken in industry, abroad or at Loughborough. Whilst both the MEng and BEng are accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), only the MEng degree fully meets all educational requirements for Chartered Engineer status.
