What you study	Chemical Engineering Chemistry	Animal Science Astronomy Biological Sciences Chemistry
What it is	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.	This is a broad science degree where you choose from fields like biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, geology, and others. You take foundational science courses in first year, then specialize by selecting which science subjects to focus on. Co-op is available, letting you do paid work terms at science-related employers alongside your studies.
