The University of Adelaide
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical Engineering)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationChemical engineers solve and manage real-world challenges to create a sustainable future. They take raw materials from the world around us and determine how we can turn them into products for daily use. Ranging across fields, chemical engineers can craft plant-based food alternatives, design clean mineral processing methods to conserve natural resources, revolutionise medicine, and aid in developing sustainable energy resources. The University of Adelaide is the only South Australian university offering Chemical Engineering, which is ranked in the top 100 globally.
Our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Chemical) is interactive from the very first year. You’ll work with award-winning and industry-connected researchers and teachers.
You could pioneer biodegradable plastics through innovative packaging solutions. You might design water purification systems for communities in need by turning saltwater into fresh water. Perhaps you will contribute to developing affordable medications for neglected diseases or revolutionise tissue regeneration techniques.
