Description

Optimising your future with Chemical Engineering

Ever wondered what chemical engineers do and how they tackle global challenges like energy and sustainability? 

In this session, you'll explore the real-world impact of chemical engineering and even get hands-on by designing a bioethanol production plant, weighing up the trade-offs between cost and product quality. 

We’ll also guide you through the university application process, and a friendly student ambassador will be on hand to answer your questions about studying and living at the University of ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ.

It's a great experience to get a deeper understanding about the subject you want to do, especially friends who are not sure what they want to do in university yet.
