During this degree you will learn to develop creative solutions in the areas of chemical, combustion, environmental, petroleum and water engineering as well as explore how to transform raw materials into useful products using chemistry, biology and physics. Your studies will include the newer fields of nanotechnology and molecular biology that are revolutionising the energy and storage systems, food production and healthcare industries.Chemical engineers are agents in the drive to ensure a sustainable society. Throughout the Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Chemical and Biomoloecular) practical applications are used in teaching and learning and there is a strong interaction with industry through work experience and study projects.You will explore the challenges faced by process industries, including the chemicals, minerals, energy and agriculture, food, beverage and pharmaceuticals sectors. The extraction of raw materials from the earth without harming the environment is a major area of work for chemical and biomolecular engineers.As a graduate, you will be at the forefront of an industry in which new types of fuels which can be used safely to provide the energy we need, without having an adverse effect on the environment, are currently being developed and tested. Chemical and bimolecular engineers are also involved in the production of pharmaceutical, cosmetic and personal care products as diverse as penicillin and shampoo.
