Chemical Engineering has been established at The University of Nottingham since 1961. We have a long history of collaboration with industry, and graduates gaining jobs with major companies.

The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus offers programmes in Chemical Engineering and Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering.

Chemical Engineering can be defined as “the processing of materials on a commercial scale”. This involves the integration of engineering principles and applications with chemistry and other sciences. Chemical Engineers work in a huge range of companies manufacturing products as diverse as petroleum products, bulk chemicals, food, drinks, pharmaceuticals, synthetic fabrics and fine chemicals. Their job is to transform efficiently and safely raw materials into useful products with the minimum environmental impact.

As an alternative to the standard Chemical Engineering Programme, students can also study Chemical Engineering with Environmental Engineering. This gives the opportunity to specialise in environmental aspects of the discipline but at the same time complete the core of subjects necessary to become a professional Chemical Engineer.
