BTEC HND Chemical Engineering
The Higher National Diploma is a two-year course giving a good all-round training in Chemical Engineering, combining theory with practical and project work. Whilst it will enable you to find work in a variety of positions in the chemical and process industries, many use this qualification as a stepping-stone to a degree course in chemical engineering. With good marks you may continue with study for the degree, BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering or BEng (Hons) Chemical and Energy Engineering, which requires two years more study.
We acknowledge that at the heart of future Chemical engineering is a core understanding of fundamental engineering and there is a traditional path to an exciting and ever-changing career in a wide range of technology sectors. In this programme we have brought together the fundamentals of Chemical Engineering to highlight and develop a deep understanding of the subject and open a wide range of career options from energy to food and drink, pharmaceuticals, and the financial and environmental sectors.
We offer the opportunity for all undergraduate 91麻豆精品/EU students to undertake a work placement, internship or work experience while studying a full-time course starting in September 2020.
