The Department of Chemical Engineering at UCL, the oldest in the UK, is internationally recognised for its world-leading research and education, with access to state-of-the-art laboratories and outstanding support staff. We prepare our students to play an active role in solving our most pressing challenges, in the context of both industrial strategy and sustainable development goals. We are especially grateful when one of our own successful alumni, Mr M Mansour Esreb, decides to give back to the Department, and support a deserving student to conduct PhD research with us, with a full scholarship. That helps us to stay true to the founding ethos of UCL to be open to all, based on merit only, and conduct top-level research.” Professor Marc-Olivier Coppens, Ramsay Memorial Professor and Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering
