Chemical engineering uses chemistry, physics and mathematics to convert raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. A great variety of process industries serve the needs of society.
The Master of Philosophy aims to expand knowledge beyond the undergraduate honours or postgraduate diploma level, culminating in a research thesis. Upon completion of a master by research degree, you may apply to be considered for entry into a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program.
Chemical engineering uses chemistry, physics and mathematics to convert raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms; and extractive metallurgy is involved in plant design, development, operations and control, management and research.
With a focus on product design and development, Chemical Product Engineering is the new frontier for chemical engineers and its relevance is almost unlimited among both industrial and scientific communities.
As a doctoral research degree candidate, you will uncover new knowledge either by the discovery of new facts, the formulation of theories or the innovative reinterpretation of known data and established ideas.
Gain a powerful skillset of chemical engineering and business at Australia's leading university*. Design the processes that convert raw materials into the valuable products we use every day. Blend your advanced chemical engineering expertise with key skills in economics, marketing and finance.
Gain the chemical engineering skills to design and implement industrial-scale processes that convert raw materials into valuable products we use every day at Australia's leading university*. Join the ranks of engineers working on cleaner biofuels, water and targeted drug delivery.
Develop specialised technical knowledge in chemical and biomolecular engineering, focusing on the design and management of industrial processes guided by economic, environmental and societal considerations.
Entry Requirements
To be eligible for admission, an applicant is required to have:
an Australian Bachelor of Engineering degree in the relevant discipline with a credit average (65 percent) or equivalent qualification, or
an Australian Bachelor of Engineering degree in the relevant discipline or equivalent, and five years relevant professional work experience, or
the relevant University of Sydney Graduate Diploma in Engineering or Graduate Certificate in Engineering with a credit average (65 percent).
Develop specialised technical knowledge in chemical and biomolecular engineering to help you transition to an engineering career. You'll gain an advanced understanding of industrial processes in which material in bulk undergoes physical or chemical changes.
Entry Requirements
To be eligible for admission, an applicant is required to have:
an Australian Bachelor of Engineering degree with a 65 percent average, or equivalent qualification or
an Australian bachelor's degree in a non-Engineering discipline with a 65 percent average, with studies equivalent to 48 credit points (equivalent to 1 year full time study load) in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, computing or statistics, as related to the stream sought for admission.
