Undergraduate Programs
This information is for current high school students, their parents, and students who have already left high school.
Our aim is to ensure that undergraduate students are provided with excellent teaching and student support services throughout their degree, enabling them to qualify with first-rate technical, communication and analytical skills that will help them succeed after they graduate. We have a diverse mix of students and the relatively small size of the School means a fantastic community atmosphere that offers support for both working and socializing.
The programs in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering are designed to produce engineers who are not only well versed in the fundamentals but have also gained a range of design and problem solving skills, enabling them to work in a large range of industries.
Areas of study in our School's program include:
- Biochemical Engineering
- Biotechnology Engineering
- Energy & Environment
- Green Product & Process Design
- Minerals Processing
- Process Systems Engineering
- Sustainability Engineering
Our degrees offer:
- technical knowledge in breadth and depth across a variety of chemical engineering disciplines
- graduate attributes in the areas of Research & Inquiry, Information Literacy, Personal & Intellectual Autonomy, Ethical, Social & Professional Understanding, & Communication
- a commitment to lifelong learning, which recognizes that engineering is continually advancing and will change during our lifetimes.
Degree Choices
The School offers the traditional 4 year degree in Chemical Engineering, as well as combined degrees with Commerce, Science, Arts or Law. For students who are unsure of their specialisation, the chemical engineering degree structure is compatible with the Flexible First Year programme offered by the Faculty of Engineering.
