National N Diploma: Chemical Engineering* | Damelin

Discover ground-breaking research and evoke your inner scientist with a National N Diploma (Engineering Studies: Chemical Engineering)

Why this course is perfect for you?

Ever wondered how materials like nylon and polyester are made? How hair products can alter the look of our hair or how it’s possible to make food stay fresh for longer? These are just some examples of topics you will get to experiment with when you study Chemical Engineering.
Chemical engineering is all about turning basic raw materials into useful, everyday products. The clothes we wear, the food and drink we consume and even the power we use all depend upon this sector. Chemical engineers work out the processes to make all these products, while also helping to manage the world’s natural resources, protecting the environment and ensuring that health and safety standards are met.
With this diploma, you will be equipped with the skills in design, manufacturing, and operation of plants and machinery, as well as learning techniques to aid in the development of new or adapted substances and materials using various products that we use every day, through physical, thermal or chemical changes.
