Overview
Through this degree program students can combine the concepts of petroleum engineering with chemical engineering. The petroleum program integrates core petroleum engineering with geosciences and management and builds a strong foundation of mathematics, physics, geology, geophysics, computer applications and engineering principles. The chemical program will provide students with a background in the physical sciences, chemical engineering core disciplines, integrated design skills and research training.
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.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum and Chemical) is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 5 years.
Conditions
