FIVE SIGNS CHEMICAL ENGINEERING IS FOR YOU
Ask any of our academics and they will tell you it's not so much what you know, it's about the way you think - and this often surprises our students to-be! Take a look at the list below and see if any of these focus areas sound like you, if so this subject could make a very good match.
Chemical Engineering is the right fit for you if...
1. YOU LOVE PROBLEM SOLVING
If you're the kind of person who likes to know how things work, and crucially, how you can make things work smarter. You're keen on a range of subjects like maths, chemistry and physics - chemical engineering could be the perfect fit!
2. YOU PUSH BOUNDARIES
You don’t just accept how things are made - you ask how they could be made better. Cleaner. Safer. More efficient.
As a Chemical Engineering student, you might test countless process conditions before one finally delivers the yield you’re after. You’ll tweak variables, analyse data, and start again when it doesn’t quite work.
Because pushing boundaries isn’t about getting it right first time. It’s about improving the way the world works - one process at a time.
3. YOU WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Chemical engineering helps the goal of transitioning into a sustainable world.
Chemical Engineers are part of the everyday change in the world!
How are you going to shape a sustainable future?
4. YOU WANT TO OPEN DOORS
Research-led, everything you learn at Manchester is at the cutting-edge of the sector - from sustainable energy and green chemistry, to simulation and materials science.
5. YOU'RE AIMING HIGH
You're not only inspired by the everyday impacts chemical engineering can make but you're also inspired by those around you. Whether you look up to your uncle, academic supervisor, or business-minded people like Frances Arnold or Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chemical engineers are motivating!
Who will you inspire next?
