Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours)

Want to use mathematics, science and creativity to overcome challenges and find solutions? Chemical Engineering is about designing efficient processes to produce, utilise, transport and transform materials and energy. Chemical engineers work in a vast range of industries. This includes large-scale industries such as mineral processing and energy generation. Chemical engineers also work in the production of consumer products such as food and cosmetics.

You could work as a Process Engineer recovering iron ore from raw mine feed,you could develop sustainable biofuel production for remote communities,or you could work to remove harmful metals and substances from groundwater.

At the University of Newcastle, we train engineers capable of solving the greatest global challenges. As a Chemical Engineer, you will apply the fundamental principles of physics and chemistry, and more specialised disciplines such as bio- and nanotechnology, to analyse and design processes, plants and control systems for productivity, safety and sustainability.
