Melbourne School of Engineering Professional Master of Engineering

Master of Engineering (Chemical)

Chemical engineers invent, design and implement processes through which raw materials are converted into valuable products such as petrol, power and toothpaste. This specialisation promotes development of practical, laboratory-based skills, combined with expertise in computing and simulation.

Students have the opportunity to complete an industry project in conjunction with a relevant industrial partner. Career opportunities in the field are extensive and exist in petrochemical, mining, food, pharmaceutical or chemical industries.

 

Entry Requirements

Admission to the Master of Engineering requires at least 65% GPA in the final two years of undergraduate study.
