2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Science, Engineering and Computing - Transfer to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Chemical Engineering at University of Leeds

Program Description

The International Foundation Year in Science, Engineering and Computing is designed as a versatile introduction to all three of these subjects. A core focus on Pure Mathematics will provide you with a fundamental understanding of the topic, as well as applicable skills for your further study. The chosen modular section of the course provides options of concentrated pathways such as Advanced Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, with a view to shape your degree in a way that suits you and the degree you wish to progress to.

Chemical engineering is all about changing raw materials by altering the chemical, biochemical or physical state of a substance to create everything from face creams to fuels, metals to paper, plastics to synthetic fibres and drugs. This course will expose you to the fundamental science and mathematics underpinning process engineering concepts, alongside specialized modules to equip you for a career in the chemical and related process industries.

You’ll gain an understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science and mass and energy balances, alongside specialist knowledge of separation processes, reaction engineering and process control. You’ll also undertake project work at every stage of the course, allowing you to apply your knowledge to design and lab work and gain the range of skills you’ll need in your professional career.

Taught by academics who are leaders in their fields, you’ll benefit from our cutting-edge research and extensive links with industry.
