Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Materials Science and Engineering)/Bachelor of Engineering Science (Chemical Engineering)
University of New South Wales - Sydney - Kensington
Overview
If you have a keen interest in materials science and engineering as well as chemical engineering, this double degree is ideal for you. Materials engineers explore the science behind high-performance materials like metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, nanomaterials, and biomaterials. On the other hand, chemical engineers focus on transforming raw materials into useful products like fertilisers, drugs, plastics, paper, paint, and food.
By studying both degrees, you'll gain a solid foundation in theory and practical skills that will place you at the forefront of development and innovation in these fields. Hence, this double degree opens up exciting career opportunities where you can make a positive impact on industries and society. You'll have the chance to contribute to cutting-edge advancements in materials and chemical engineering, working on projects that shape the world around us.
On completion of this five-year program, you'll earn two separate degrees: a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Science and Engineering and a Bachelor of Engineering Science in Chemical Engineering.
