Our Chemical Engineering program has been accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) and was approved by the Department of Education of Zhejiang Province to construct a First Class Discipline in the province’s 13th Five Year Plan.

 

The chemical engineering degree programme offered by the Department of Chemical & Environmental Engineering at The University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) has been accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE).

IChemE is a global organisation that represents chemical engineering professionals and anyone involved with the process industries, setting the standard for engineering professionals within these sectors. Accreditation by IChemE is valued internationally, setting the gold standard to ensure that graduates with accredited degrees enter employment equipped with a range of professional skills sought after by employers.

IChemE is the only organisation that awards the internationally-recognised qualifications of Chartered Chemical Engineer (CEng). Graduating with an IChemE accredited such as the BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering from UNNC, is the first step in gaining the prestigious CEng professional qualification.

Rob Best, chair of the IChemE Education and Accreditation Forum, welcomed the accreditation of UNNC’s chemical engineering degree programme, saying: "Following earlier advice from IChemE, the department had engaged an industrially-based consultant to review the teaching of process safety and is now delivering a commendably innovative and holistic programme of embedded SHE material.”
