What you will study\
Our courses combine traditional chemical engineering topics with multidisciplinary design and biochemical engineering. Course content addresses major industry challenges and issues including sustainability, clean methods of production, waste management and energy generation.

You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The MEng builds on the BEng with a masters year, known as an [integrated masters](https://www.surrey.ac.uk/undergraduate-study/integrated-masters), and is the direct route to becoming a chartered engineer. Students on our MEng may take part in a multidisciplinary project working with other engineering students across the University.
