Heriot-Watt Chemical Engineering

Chemical and Process Engineering degree programmes have been delivered by Heriot-Watt University for over 50 years. Our IChemE-accredited undergraduate programmes are currently taught in Edinburgh, Dubai and Malaysia. Our programmes provide students with a sound understanding of chemical and process engineering fundamentals needed to become a professional Chartered Chemical Engineer. Students develop a thorough understanding of chemical and physical principles and underlying chemical and process engineering concepts, along with problem-solving and analysis skills, and the ability to apply these to real, practical engineering problems. Our teaching is closely related to and informed by the research activities in the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences, specifically carbon solutions, reaction engineering and catalysis, and bioprocessing/biotechnology.
