These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).
Overview
Through this combined degree program students can combine the concepts of chemical engineering with arts. The chemical engineering program will provide students with a background in the physical sciences, chemical engineering core disciplines, integrated design skills and research training. In the arts program, students are able to specialise in areas of their choice by taking a ‘major’ (from one of 25 areas) and potentially a ‘minor’ (from a range of areas).
Students are also required to complete 12 weeks of approved practical experience during their study. Graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia and the Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) (UK).
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical) and Bachelor of Arts is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 5 years.
Academic Program Rules for Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical) / Bachelor of Arts
