Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical)
University of Adelaide, The
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00123M
Chemical engineers come up with the best ways to convert raw matter—like minerals or oils—into products we can use. They design renewable energy solutions, new and improved medicines, chemical plants, cosmetics and food factories. The University of Adelaide is the only South Australian university in the world’s top 50 for Computer Science and Engineering.
Structure
The first two years of the academic program are spent developing an understanding of the foundation subjects of chemical engineering, which are increasingly put into practice in the third and fourth years via major design, research and experimental projects. A major is a great way to specialise and pursue topics of interest without narrowing future career options. All graduates of this degree—irrespective of their major—qualify as chemical engineers, and can pursue a career in any specialist field within the profession. Majors are available across the following areas: Food and Beverage Engineering, Minerals Processing, Pharmaceutical Engineering and Renewable Energy. Students are required to complete eight weeks of approved practical experience.
