CRICOS: 00123M

Chemical engineers come up with the best ways to convert raw matter like minerals or oils into products we can use. They design renewable energy solutions, new and improved medicines, chemical plants, cosmetics and food factories. The University of Adelaide is the only South Australian university in the worlds top 50 for Computer Science and Engineering.

Structure

The first two years of the academic program are spent developing an understanding of the foundation subjects of chemical engineering, which are increasingly put into practice in the third and fourth years via major design, research and experimental projects. A major is a great way to specialise and pursue topics of interest without narrowing future career options. All graduates of this degree irrespective of their major qualify as chemical engineers, and can pursue a career in any specialist field within the profession. Majors are available across the following areas: Food and Beverage Engineering, Minerals Processing, Pharmaceutical Engineering and Renewable Energy. Students are required to complete eight weeks of approved practical experience.

Standard entry requirements

  • Recent Secondary Education: Applicants with recent secondary education are those whose admission is primarily based on the completion of Year 12 within the last two years, however if you completed your secondary education more than two years ago, you may still be able to be considered on the basis of your secondary schooling.

Applicants who have not achieved a competitive Selection Rank (ATAR plus any applicable adjustment factors) required for selection may be selected based on the grades in selected year 12 subjects. Applicants do not need to apply to be considered for subject-based entry, as this will automatically be done.
