Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Chemical and Biomolecular)

Course Overview

The Bachelor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering provides students with interdisciplinary skills that covers the engineering design and optimisation of systems and equipment used in the manufacturing and processing of a range of materials, with applications in processes related to biomolecular and cellular engineering, carbon neutral processes, chemical and process innovation, food industry transformations, water resources and the environment.

Students will learn how to design and develop chemical processes and equipment in practical applications with a strong interaction with industry through work experience and study projects. The degree will allow you to work in a variety of industries, including water treatment and recycling, environmental management, energy sustainability and in research from the molecular level up to full industrial scale.

The School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering offers the following Bachelor of Engineering Honours degree specialisations:

• Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
• Combined degrees with Science (including Medical Science), Commerce, Arts, Project Management and Law.
