Sustainable Process Engineering (with a placement year)

This pioneering degree programme responds to the world’s need for cleaner and more efficient processes, to move towards a sustainable society.

You'll gain the knowledge and skills to design, optimise, and implement sustainable industrial processes. As a graduate, you'll be sought after in industries focused on energy efficiency, waste reduction, and environmental sustainability.

You'll train as a future leader, ready to drive sustainable social and economic development through cleaner and more efficient chemical and manufacturing processes.

This programme will provide you with the knowledge and understanding of many areas of sustainable processing, including:

• carbon management

• renewable energy

• water and wastewater treatment

• food

• waste

• plastics

• circular economy

• environmental engineering

• sustainable process design

• green chemistry

• energy efficiency

You'll be able to incorporate the concept of sustainability into the design, commissioning and efficient operation of chemical and manufacturing plants. In doing so, you'll help create a greener and more sustainable world.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• work on sustainability-related projects, including the evaluation of the environmental impacts of processes using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

• engage with industrial speakers regarding sustainable processing

• work with the latest in sustainable processing education technology to further your technical capabilities

• work with process design and simulation industry-grade software such as LCA, ASPEN, MATLAB, Ansys
