Welcome to the Chemical Engineering Website
Chemical Engineering is one of the five disciplines which make up the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences. Our taught programme in Chemical Engineering, leading to a BEng or MEng qualification, is recognised throughout the UK. Many of our graduate engineers find employment in the energy sector with the global energy companies and the smaller but essential specialised consultancies.
Heriot Watt is the premier Chemical Engineering Department in Scotland for research with over two-thirds of our Research outputs being ranked as ‘World leading’ or ‘Internationally excellent’ in the 2008 Reseach Assessment Exercise.
Our research activities are broad, with activities including molecular simulation, nano-scale structures, bio-separation, biotechnology, advanced catalysis, novel chemical and bio-reactors through to larger scale crystallisation and technologies supporting the oil and gas sector.
