Programme profile
Most of the things you see around you everyday are made through chemical processes. Medicines, make up, paints, gadgets, gasoline, energy - not to mention food and drink. To produce them, the world"s biggest multinationals rely on people with the kind of skills you"ll develop on our Bachelor"s of Process and Food Technology programme. You"ll spend time during the programme working with a real company, on real projects and work placements. International companies are very much involved in the curriculum.
The programme involves a mix of classroom tuition, lectures, group activities, projects and lab work. Your lessons will give you the knowledge and skills you need to complete the projects in each term. You"ll study general subjects, like math, physics and chemistry: as well as learning how to use actual equipment, like reactors, heat exchangers and distillation towers.
