Developed in consultation with industry, our Diploma and Bachelor of Engineering in Process Engineering programmes will enable you to apply your knowledge and skills to real-world challenges. Combining exceptional facilities with teaching from research-active academics, this programme will prepare you to become a successful professional, able to address technological and societal challenges as well as capable of undertaking both life-long learning and further advanced studies. Besides the core content of process engineering such as design and development of unit processes, chemical plants and process automation, the programme includes control engineering, economics, environmental aspects as well as industrial safety and ergonomics.

Process Engineers are found in almost all industrial plants, and they are responsible for the design, operation, control and optimization of the processes. They examine how raw materials are converted into useable productions and how to improve the process. They are involved in many aspects of plant design and operation, including safety and hazard assessments, process design and analysis, control & instrumentations, chemical reactions, construction specifications and operating instructions.

We offer careers’ information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us. Our CV writing workshops as well as practice job interview conducted by industrial recruiter is undoubtedly another factor in the high employment record of our graduates.

Process/chemical engineers on average earn more than any other engineering discipline and graduates are consistently paid more than chemists and other scientists. The high salaries paid reflect the level of responsibility and importance which process/chemical engineering graduates quickly attain.

A graduate might work as a field operator, technical/safety engineer or occupy a finance or management position. Process Engineering prepares students for a variety of careers in different areas including environmental control, plastics and polymers, instrumentation and process control, petrochemicals, petroleum and natural gas processing, energy conversion and utilization, biotechnology, food processing, minerals and composite material, pharmaceutical and healthcare, water and waste management, corrosion and protective coatings, microelectronic component manufacturing and finance and management consultancy.
