Overview
With its combination of chemistry, analytical sciences and chemical engineering, this course will put you at the forefront of technology development that could change the world.
You’ll work on product innovation, from the laboratory through to large-scale production, with a focus on efficient industrial processes to use less energy and produce less waste.
Career
Graduates find work in industries such as:
- agricultural chemicals
- utilities, gas supply, liquid fuels, energy
- sources, fuel cells, resources
- environment, including analytical monitoring, water treatment, pollution, site assessment and remediation, recycling, engineering aspects,
- conservation food, quality control, microbiology, wine, oils,
- dairy, food processing and preservation
- pharmaceuticals, plastics and polymers.
Graduates can also work in the process design sector, developing production processes from lab to large-scale. They are well placed to take leadership roles in the development and commercialization of new chemical products.
You must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 (or equivalent senior secondary school qualification) with a minimum average of 70% (check calculator below).
Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognized post-secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.
Meeting the minimum academic requirements does not guarantee entry. Your application will still need to be assessed and accepted.
If you don't meet the entry requirements, there may be other RMIT programs you are eligible for that can lead you to your preferred program.
