Fees and funding
Fees
Tuition fees for home students commencing their studies in September 2025 will be £9,535 per annum (subject to Parliamentary approval). Tuition fees for international students will be £36,000 per annum. For general information please see the undergraduate finance pages.
Policy on additional costs
All students should normally be able to complete their programme of study without incurring additional study costs over and above the tuition fee for that programme. Any unavoidable additional compulsory costs totalling more than 1% of the annual home undergraduate fee per annum, regardless of whether the programme in question is undergraduate or postgraduate taught, will be made clear to you at the point of application. Further information can be found in the University's Policy on additional costs incurred by students on undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes (PDF document, 91KB).
Scholarships/sponsorships
At The University of Manchester we're committed to attracting and supporting the very best students. We have a focus on nurturing talent and ability and we want to make sure that you have the opportunity to study here, regardless of your financial circumstances.

Aims
The unit aims to:
Provide an introduction to the methods of integration and solution of ordinary differential equation systems arising from the mathematical modelling of chemical engineering applications.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of CHEN20041, a student will be able to… (1) Compare different methods and select a suitable method for solving differential equations or integrals. (2) Apply the ideas and concepts to systems of differential equations. (3) Explain how both differential equations and integration can arise in the process of setting up mathematical models. (4) Apply techniques and find appropriate solutions of a differential equation or integral equation. (5) Apply techniques of differential equations and integration to a chemical engineering problem. (6) Set-up differential equations or integrals to solve a chemical engineering problem. (7) Understand the limitation of solutions arising from the calculations.
