About this course

Outline Outline

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.

In this double degree, you will explore the development, design and operation of processes for the extraction, conversion and recovery of materials. You'll also develop the skills for a career in a modern analytical or industrial laboratory.

What jobs can the Chemical Engineering and Chemistry course lead to?
  • Process Engineer
What you'll learn
  • apply chemical and engineering principles to process engineering design and development, including sound risk management, environmental and occupational health and safety practice
  • think critically and creatively to generate innovative and optimum solutions
  • identify, evaluate and synthesise information from a range of sources to optimise process engineering design and development
  • communicate effectively in ways appropriate to the discipline, audience and purpose
  • use appropriate information, chemical and process technologies (recognising their advantages and limitations) in the design and development of sustainable process systems
  • engage in continuous education, training and research, and take control of their own learning and development
  • recognise and apply international standards and best practice in chemistry and process engineering
  • demonstrate respect for cultural diversity
  • be 'career ready' for the chemical and process engineering professions, demonstrate leadership qualities, and work ethically and professionally both within a team and independently
