About Chemical Engineering

At Birmingham we are dedicated to delivering a first-class learning experience led by academics who are global experts in their field. Our staff's passion and expertise have propelled the department to the forefront of some of the most innovative and exciting research in chemical engineering today.

  • Our core strengths:

    Birmingham has one of the largest concentrations of Chemical Engineering expertise in the UK, with over 100 members of staff and over £10 million per annum in research income.

    We have extensive links with key employers, such as BP, Unilever and GSK, who provide projects and work placements for our students and regularly recruit our graduates.

    A student-centred approach where the needs of our students are put first, both in terms of academic and pastoral support.

We have access to world-class teaching and laboratory facilities including a £40 million Collaborative Teaching Laboratory (CTL) where we are using the latest educational technologies to reinvent practical classes.

As one of the oldest and largest Schools of Chemical Engineering in the United Kingdom we have a long and rich history. However, despite being amongst the most prestigious departments in the UK, we are both friendly and welcoming. In addition to being home to a team of supportive academic and professional staff, we pride ourselves on our vibrant and sociable student community.
