We're committed to teaching excellence, and having won the IChemE Macnab Lacey prize for the Best Student Design Project four times in the competition's nine year history, we attract some of the world's most talented students.

Our latest win was in 2020 with a student project on Sustainable Production of Dimethyl Carbonate.

We've educated chemical engineers for years, and with excellent modelling and experimental facilities, Manchester is a fantastic place to study the subject.

The value of a Manchester chemical engineering degree is recognised by employers, and our students and alumni go on to achieve incredible things. Start your own journey with us.
