Future Students
Welcome to the School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering
The Universal Engineer!
Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering opens passages to a new and exciting world, working from atomic-size units to fully-integrated cities. With a wide range of skills, from computer control systems to risk management, material handling to value-adding to products, the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineer is a creative resource whose skills are demanded the world over.
Work in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering includes research in carbon nanotubes, some of the stiffest, strongest, and smallest materials known; to pharmaceutical product work, taking ideas from the laboratory right through to the marketplace ensuring optimum drug efficiency and delivery; to the management of an oil rig, fuelling cars, homes, and cities.
With a degree from the internationally renowned and respected University of Sydney, stimulating career prospects from Shanghai to London are opened up, throughout a range of growing industries, including energy (oil, gas, and renewable resources), health, water, biotechnology, and the environment.
Imperative to our modern world, the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineer not only looks to traditional systems, but uses inspiration, creativity, and ingenuity to improve existing materials and design environmentally sustainable solutions. With windmill farms, water recycling, and the need to reduce waste and by-products, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineers look to inspire a new way of life that would be beneficial for the economy, the community, and the environment.
