• In each year of the degree, students will take several individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year.
  • The two Chemical Engineering programs at UCL, BEng, and MEng follow a common curriculum for the first three years. A final decision between the different routes can be delayed until the end of the third year when students will have greater experience on which to base their choice. Applicants do not need to apply for more than one program; all applicants to all programs are treated equally. Suitably qualified BEng candidates can change to MEng at the end of year three.
  • In year three students will undertake a compulsory design project, carried out in small teams. Each team designs a complete process plant, including detailed unit design (for example, a reactor or a distillation or absorption column), environmental impact, safety and risk assessment, process control, and cost.
  • If a student chooses the BEng degree, they will complete their studies at the end of the third year.
