Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Science
University of Newcastle
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00109J
The Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Science combined degree program is offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment and the Faculty of Science. This program provides students with the opportunity to undertake concurrent study in Chemical Engineering and Science with a major in Chemistry (Advanced Materials) and complete two awards. In general, a combined degree program offers greater breadth of learning, enhancing the academic and professional qualities gained in each separate degree. At the same time, it recognises the increasing need for students to graduate with multidisciplinary skills.
Structure
The Bachelor of Chemical Engineering Honours / Bachelor of Science is a 5 year program comprising 400 units, of which 320 units are core courses, 60 units are compulsory or directed courses for the science major and up to 20 units of elective courses. Students will have the opportunity to undertake an industry related project in their final year and must also complete 12 weeks of industrial experience throughout the program. A graded honours classification in engineering is awarded on the basis of superior performance throughout the program. The Bachelor of Science component of this combined program may be awarded with Distinction on the basis of superior performance throughout the program.

Standard entry requirements
Year 12 or equivalent. Alternative entry pathways may include approved TAFE studies, preparatory programs such as Newstep, Open Foundation or Tertiary Preparation Certificate. Assumed knowledge: HSC Mathematics (Band 5 or above) or equivalent. One science-related subject would also be an advantage (Physics or Chemistry preferred). Applicants who have achieved less than Mathematics Band 5 may be admitted to the program but may need to complete additional study to successfully complete the requirements of the program. Students who have completed HSC Mathematics General 2 may be admitted to the program but can expect to undertake additional studies to successfully complete the requirements of the program.
Recognition
This degree program is accredited by Engineers Australia and other affiliated international organisations.
Study pathways
Credit transfer agreements with TAFE NSW and other education providers are under continuous negotiation. A Bachelor of Science (Honours) is also available to meritorious students, as an additional year of full-time or equivalent part-time study.
