Formulation Engineering

University of Birmingham has opted into the TEF and received a Gold award.

This is an EPSRC-sponsored doctoral research and training programme. Students combine a research project based in industry with a Master's level training and development programme. The EngD Studentships at the School of Chemical Engineering programme has a 100 per cent employment record and has been recognised by the IChemE as counting towards Chartered Engineer status. Chemical engineering is dynamic and evolving. It provides many solutions to problems facing industries in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, oil, energy and food and drink sectors. It is vital to many issues affecting our quality of life; such as better and more economical processes to reduce the environmental burden, and more delicious and longer lasting food due to the right combination of chemistry, ingredients and processing. All modules are held at Birmingham unless otherwise stated.

The International Students Advisory Service (ISAS) is available for all international students attending the university to provide support and advice across a number of areas. These include matters such as visas and immigration, living and working in the UK and workshops for students outside the classroom. They are also available to help with matters such as students bringing families with them and organising social events around the country to make the most of their time in Birmingham. The University of Birmingham Guild of Students is the students union of the university, which has its origins in the guild of undergraduates dating back to the 1870s. It supports some 180 clubs and societies across a range of subjects and interests from sports and arts to volunteering as well as representing students in various ways. The university ranks in the top five in the BUCS league of British universities.
