Hi, I’m Carolina Font Palma.
I am a senior lecturer and programme director of Chemical Engineering.
One of the strengths of our three year programme is that we have a common year,
so everyone in the first year will have the same modules that are all related
to the engineering fundamentals and principles that any engineer needs.
And that has other advantages, such
as having interactions with other students from different engineering programs,
and also have lecturers that are coming from different engineering disciplines.
You would also be able to work in multidisciplinary teams
and that would give you a better overview of what engineering is.
From the second year you will move to core chemical engineering modules
and you will have opportunities to apply any of the theoretical
information into
more applied chemical engineering applications.
One of the unique
areas at Hull is that we are located
in a very industrialised region, so you have opportunities,
for example, to have placements in those different companies
and have that experience from different sectors.
Over the years you will have opportunities, for example,
to go to the CATCH facilities that are nearby
and be able to look into real equipment
and also to have site visits to all the companies nearby.
We also offer
chemical engineering laboratories
and you will also have access to the virtual control room
where you can simulate the operation and control of a chemical plant.
And finally, our program is accredited
by the Institution of Chemical Engineers,
and that will give you opportunities to then become a chartered engineer.
So if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
You can also come to any of the Open Days.
