The Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours)/ Bachelor of Mathematics combined degree program provides students with an opportunity to undertake study in the fields of both chemical engineering and mathematics and complete two awards. In general, a combined program offers greater breadth of learning, enhancing the academic and professional qualities gained in each separate program. At the same time, it recognises the increasing need for students to graduate with multidisciplinary skills. Within this program, students have the opportunity to select directed courses according to their individual areas of interest and also complete twelve weeks of industry experience. They will have the opportunity to undertake an industry-related engineering project in their final year of study.
