Overview
Through this double degree program students can combine the concepts of chemical engineering with finance. The chemical engineering program will provide students with a background in the physical sciences, chemical engineering core disciplines, integrated design skills and research training. All Engineering students will complete a common first year before branching out into their disciplines. Students will also have the opportunity to choose from a range of Engineering thematic majors and minors. The finance and banking program introduces students to the global and institutional aspects of our financial and banking systems.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical) with Bachelor of Finance and Banking is an AQF Level 08 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 5 years.
This program is accredited by Engineers Australia and graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia and the Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) (UK).
Program Learning Outcomes
- Contribute to the design of creative, sustainable, economic and safe solutions, which satisfy the objectives of clients and stakeholders.
- Demonstrate a broad, theory-based understanding of the mathematical, natural and physical sciences underpinning engineering practice, and evaluate the differences between theoretical and applied system behaviour.
- Demonstrate a conceptual understanding of the computer and information sciences that underpin engineering practice.
- Demonstrate a substantial and contemporary body-of-knowledge of engineering methods, tools and processes for a specific discipline, complemented by relevant knowledge from related disciplines.
