Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical Engineering), Bachelor of Science (Science) in Chemistry (double degree)

The Bachelor of Science (Chemistry) provides students with the knowledge and skills to become professional chemists in analytical, research and industrial laboratories. The Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) prepares graduates to design and manage industrial processes for the extraction, conversion and purification of raw materials. The processes include petroleum refining, gas processing, petrochemical production, mineral processing, metal refining, fertiliser and cement manufacturing, water treatment, food processing and pharmaceuticals production. The combination of the two degrees provides graduates with versatility, which opens up a wide range of employment opportunities in the research, development and operation of industrial chemical processes.

The first year of the course is common with other engineering programs. This is followed by studies in inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, and mainstream chemical engineering topics in materials handling, reactor engineering, energy transfer, process control and product separation.
