Course description
This course covers the same core topics as our MEng Chemical Engineering, but you'll spend the third year of your degree studying at one of our partner IChemE-accredited institutions in Australia or New Zealand.
With support and guidance from us you'll choose modules to suit your interests from your host institution's curriculum. You'll also carry out an in-depth technical research project, before returning to Sheffield for your fourth year.
You'll benefit from broadening your horizons, meeting new people and developing new skills, all of which will make you a more capable and highly employable engineer.
Financial help from the University - bursaries
If you're a UK student, you could be entitled to a University bursary. A bursary is the same as a grant - you don't have to pay it back.

The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it's up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers.
In the event of any change we'll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption.
Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering
All of our courses are accredited by the IChemE and some by the Energy Institute, putting you ahead on the path to chartership.
We combine intensive teaching with practical experience to produce the kind of graduates employers want.
You'll be taught in the Diamond (pictured), one of the very best teaching spaces in the UK. This unique facility will provide you with a safe environment in which you'll apply your learning from lectures, tutorials and labs on larger scale process equipment through hands-on experimentation.
What our graduates do
Our graduates work in sectors including chemicals, consumer goods, oil and gas, consultancy, pharmaceuticals, energy, water, food and drink, materials, process plant and equipment, biotechnology and the nuclear industry.
We produce chemical engineers equipped to work in industrial teams designing and operating new processes. Our recent graduates are working for global companies including BASF, Cargill, Johnson Matthey, GlaxoSmithKline, BOC, Shell, EDF, Total Lindsey and Sellafield.
Student profile
"Being able to pick my own modules and choosing how I could direct my own learning was really enjoyable and made it feel like it was a more personalised degree."
