Chemical Engineering is dynamic and evolving. It provides many solutions to problems facing industries in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, oil, energy and food and drink sectors.Ê It is vital to many issues affecting our quality of life; such as better and more economical processes to reduce the environmental burden, and more delicious and longer lasting food due to the right combination of chemistry, ingredients and processing.ÊÊ
Companies participating in the scheme are involved in modern process engineering and the formulation of multiphase structured materials (foods, bioproducts, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and fine minerals). Examples include Unilever, Rolls Royce, Cargill, Johnson Matthey, Imerys and Procter & Gamble BASF, Astra Zeneca, Colgate-Palmolive, Royal College of Defence Medicine, AWE, and Dupont Teijin Films.
Careers
The Formulation Engineering from University of Birmingham has a 100 % employment record. A third of the Research Engineers have been recruited by their sponsors, whilst several Research Engineers now work for companies that did not sponsor their project but support the scheme. But more importantly over 89% are still employed in the field of Formulation Engineering.
