Academic Requirements:

As the full-time BEng Honours degree takes 4 years to complete, the part-time degree is spread over 7 years. This course is designed for students with relevant prior education and experience, and currently, there are only two possible entry points for part-time distance learning students.

Students joining the course in year 4 of 7, receive 180 academic credits for prior learning and relevant industry experience. Students joining in year 5 of 7 receive 240 academic credits for prior learning and relevant industry experience.

Applicants who apply to year 5 entry may be offered year 4 entry if they do not meet the entry requirements for year 5. However, if you apply for year 4 entry, it is presumed that this is your preferred entry point. While year 4 entry means that it will take longer, and cost slightly more, year 4 should be considered unless you are confident that you have the skills and knowledge in mathematics, chemistry, and basic principles of chemical engineering, at the level of year’s 1-2 of a full-time honours degree.

In the past, we've admitted students with:

* Higher National Diploma (HND), or international equivalent, in chemical engineering with some chemical engineering-related industrial experience
* Higher National Certificate (HNC) (or international equivalent) in chemical engineering with significant related industrial experience
* Similar qualifications to HND or HNC, or higher, in a related discipline, eg applied chemistry, mechanical engineering etc. You may need to complete some bridging courses
* Other combinations (like the above) that's given you enough relevant background information to enter the degree at the equivalent to Year 3 in the full-time programme
We can also offer our year 4 classes as an automated bridging programme at a lower cost, for students who meet the entry requirements for year 5 but feel that they would benefit from revision of engineering mathematics and chemical engineering fundamentals.

Academic Requirements:

The Higher Secondary Certificate is sufficient to apply for undergraduate programmes at Strathclyde if excellent marks have been achieved (ie over 75% in all subjects). Applicants with marks much less than this will be required to undertake a foundation/access programme. We encourage students with A levels to apply, and students with strong marks can often enter the second year of a Strathclyde undergraduate programme.
