<div><div><div><p>The practical nature of chemical engineering makes any industrial experience gathered whilst studying an invaluable asset. The MEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering with Industrial Experience course complies with the requirements for MEng accreditation by the Institution of Chemical Engineers. The accredited MEng course must include everything currently covered by a BEng, but with the following additional features:</p><p>i. advanced depth in chemical engineering (deeper penetration of knowledge and understanding than has previously been acquired in the degree programme)</p><p>ii. advanced breadth in chemical engineering (exposure to topics additional to those that would normally be considered as core chemical engineering)</p><p>iii. advanced chemical engineering practice (application of chemical engineering techniques and, if possible, innovative design).</p><p>The prime function of the skills portfolio is to demonstrate that the industrial experience year has fulfilled the requirements of a MEng degree.

In the MEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering with Industrial Experience course students spend the third year on an industrial placement, allowing them to gain significant industrial experience and to develop advanced depth, breadth and practice in chemical engineering, as well as soft and transferable skills. Additionally, the Institution of Chemical Engineers accredited MEng with IE course provides students with an opportunity for further development in the following areas;</p><ul><li style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87);font-family:"Segoe UI", Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">Advanced depth in chemical engineering (deeper penetration of knowledge and understanding than has previously been acquired in the degree programme)</li><li style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87);font-family:"Segoe UI", Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">Advanced breadth in chemical engineering (exposure to topics additional to those that would normally be considered core chemical engineering)</li><li style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87);font-family:"Segoe UI", Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">Advanced chemical engineering practice (application of chemical engineering techniques and, if possible, innovative design).</li></ul><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87);font-family:"Segoe UI", Lato, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:1.4285em;margin:0px 0px 1em;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">The prime function of the skills portfolio is to demonstrate that the industrial experience year has fulfilled the requirements of a MEng degree.
