What does it mean if a university course is accredited?

Chemical engineering degrees may be accredited at bachelors level or above depending on the course of study. Broadly, an accredited degree is one that has been approved by a professional body. In chemical engineering, this means students can be assured of the following:

• high standard of teaching
• appropriate practical content and contact hours
• designed to meet the needs of employers
• solid professional grounding and internationally recognised process safety and sustainability content.

An accredited degree enables graduates to become Associate Members of IChemE. Graduates can then work towards a professional qualification to become a chartered chemical engineer. This additional professional qualification is widely recognised and demonstrates professional competence and commitment to employers, policy makes and society.
