Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Mathematics

Chemical engineering. Pure science, applied to real world problems.

Deepen your technical skills and broaden your career options with this combined degree program. Complete both degrees in five years.

Mathematics is fundamental to break-through engineering. It underpins most technological advances that we rely on every day. You'll open up new fields like data mining, mathematical modelling, statistics and predictive analysis. Use your skills in technology, creativity and logic to push boundaries and make a difference in society.

We train engineers capable of solving the greatest global challenges. You will apply the fundamental principles of physics and chemistry, and specialised disciplines such as bio and nanotechnology to key problems in our community. You will analyse and design processes, plants and control systems for productivity, safety and sustainability.
