What you study	ArchitectureFacilities ManagementLandscape & Garden Design	Chemical Engineering Chemistry	Biotechnology Chemical Engineering Chemistry Genetics
What it is	You study how to design outdoor spaces — parks, gardens, campuses, streetscapes — combining art, ecology, and practical building knowledge. Unlike general design programs, landscape architecture focuses specifically on outdoor environments and includes technical skills in grading, drainage, and site planning. It suits people who want to solve real problems through design and enjoy working both creatively and analytically with land and plants.	You study how to design and operate equipment and systems that transform raw materials into useful products using chemistry and engineering principles. This dual degree means you earn both a BEng from Trent and a BSc from Swansea University in the UK, completing part of your studies at each campus. It suits students who want international experience, deeper chemistry knowledge alongside engineering, and the option to work in industries like pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, or food processing.	You study how chemicals and biological systems work together to solve real-world problems, learning biochemistry and chemical engineering side by side over five years. This dual degree goes deeper than choosing one field: you gain skills in both the science of living systems and the design of industrial processes. It suits people who want flexibility to work in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, or chemical manufacturing, and who value alternating study terms with paid work placements through co-op.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
