Undertaking a PhD in Chemical Engineering is challenging yet rewarding. Whilst strengthening your research ability, it will also allow you to develop a much wider range of transferable skills that can be applied to a range of industries.
Graduates from our department leave with a breadth of technical skills and expertise, far beyond their particular degree specialism. Our graduates progress onto a wide variety of careers within engineering, which put the skills and knowledge acquired during this programme into practice. A higher degree, such as a PhD, can accelerate your career and facilitate progression into positions with higher responsibility. Upon completion of your PhD, you may also wish to stay within academic research, either securing a post-doctoral research position or lecturing role, within UK and international institutes.
