Laboratory facilities

All of our courses feature a hands-on learning approach, with practical teaching in our cutting-edge laboratory facilities. Our labs are equipped with the latest technology for environmental monitoring and pollution control, advanced energy systems such as fuel cells, scanning electron microscopes, X-ray diffractometers, chemical processing unit operations and petroleum reservoir and rock deformation facilities.

We also have state-of-the-art preparative facilities for making and characterising a wide range of materials, as well as equipment and instrumentation for carrying out more fundamental studies into their process-microstructure-property relationships.

Our specialist undergraduate teaching lab features equipment to help you gain experience and understanding of fundamental chemical engineering concepts. We also have an optical microscope lab, which students may regularly use to study the micro-structures of materials.
