Chemical Engineering takes different types of raw materials and chemicals and transforms them into products that benefit our lives in many different ways. Chemical engineers are optimizing a chemical process to be as efficient as possible by transferring one thing into another.
Chemical Engineering is a popular branch of engineering, and international students are attracted to UK universities because of the state-of-the-art facilities, experienced teaching teams and welcoming learning environments.
