Program description
Pursuing a degree in chemical engineering will teach you the ins and outs of creating environmentally and socially responsible chemical processes, tools, and products. Becoming a chemical engineer provides up a world of possibilities. You can put your abilities to use in a variety of industries, including energy and mining, the food and beverage industry, consultancy and finance, renewable and alternative energy, government research organizations like the CSIRO, or even with large local businesses in the energy and mining sectors.Program structure
