These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).
Overview
This program will provide students with a background in the physical sciences, chemical engineering core disciplines, integrated design skills and research training. The first two years of the program are spent developing an understanding of the foundation courses of chemical engineering, which are increasingly put into practice in the third and fourth years via major design, research and experimental projects. The program offers specialisations in Chemical, Minerals Processing or Sustainable Energy.
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) is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 4 years.
