A lack of financial support in chemical engineering education could impact on the government's climate change plans and put firms under pressure to fill graduate jobs in London with appropriate candidates, it has been reported.
Dr David Brown, chief executive of the Institution of Chemical Engineers called on the government to increase investment in the industry or graduate intake levels will fail to meet sector demands, according to Engineering Live.
Mr Brown told the news provider that chemical engineering was on the frontline in the fight against climate change.

The Scottish government has called the increase encouraging and a spokesperson said everyone should be given the opportunity to further themselves at a higher education institution, reports the Press Association.
