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.	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.	You study science and business together in one program, combining technical subjects like chemistry or biology with courses in marketing, entrepreneurship, and business strategy. Unlike a regular science degree with a business minor added on, this program integrates both throughout, so you learn how science discoveries become commercial products. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work placements. This suits students who want a science background but also care about bringing ideas to market or running a company.
