MEng Chemical Engineering with Foundation Year

at Newcastle University

Modules

The information below is intended to provide an example of what you will study.

Most degrees are divided into stages. Each stage lasts for one academic year, and you'll complete modules totalling 120 credits by the end of each stage. 

Our teaching is informed by research. Course content may change periodically to reflect developments in the discipline, the requirements of external bodies and partners, and student feedback.

Stage 1

During your foundation year, you will develop the knowledge and skills you need to progress onto our four year MEng, studying topics such as mathematics, science, and applied mechanics.

In your first year, you'll focus on core principles of chemical engineering, maths, and science, covering chemistry, thermodynamics, and the principles of chemical engineering.
