With its combination of chemistry, analytical sciences and chemical engineering, this course will put you at the forefront of technology development that could change the world.

You’ll work on product innovation, from the laboratory through to large-scale production, with a focus on efficient industrial processes to use less energy and produce less waste.

Career Outcomes

Graduates find work in industries such as:

• agricultural chemicals
• utilities, gas supply, liquid fuels, energy
• sources, fuel cells, resources
• environment, including analytical monitoring, water treatment, pollution, site assessment and remediation, recycling, engineering aspects,
• conservationfood, quality control, microbiology, wine, oils,
• dairy, food processing and preservation
• pharmaceuticals, plastics and polymers.

Graduates can also work in the process design sector, developing production processes from lab to large-scale. They are well placed to take leadership roles in the development and commercialisation of new chemical products.

Professional recognition and accreditation

This degree is fully accredited by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.

This degree is also fully accredited by Engineers Australia. Graduates of the degree are eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia.

Australia is one of 15 countries that are signatories to the International Engineering Alliance, also known as the Washington Accord, for professional engineers. The qualification of graduates from this degree is recognised in all countries that are signatories to the Accord.

Graduates are also eligible for graduate membership of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). IChemE is the primary international professional society for the chemical engineer. The degree is accredited by IChemE (UK) at the BEng level.
