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 world’s top 50 for Computer Science and Engineering. 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 specialize 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.

The tuition fee is to be charged in national currency so it may vary in the event of changes in exchange rates. Following Australia's COVID-19 restrictions, please contact the Unibroad team for further information. This program is also available part-time. For Unibroad applicants, the application fee of AUD 100 will be waived. For our students who are studying offshore in 2022, the University will continue to offer high-quality access to the learning resources remotely for most programs. Students commencing in July may have a slightly limited selection of courses.
