Students who have undertaken the Chemical Systems major will be able to rigorously integrate fundamental science in chemical engineering to provide accurate information and optimum solutions to practical problems involving basic chemical processing systems. More specifically, core skills and knowledge that will be developed include: fundamental scientific comprehension that will lead to accurate computer modelling of process systems, analytical and abstract thinking, problem-solving and design skills, ability to carry out laboratory experiments to eliminate or confirm possible solutions to complex problems. In all levels of this major, we will ensure the development of excellent communication skills that will enable our graduates to deliver complex scientific information in a clear and concise fashion. The Chemical Systems major provides a direct pathway for admission to Masters in Engineering programs in chemical and biochemical engineering. These Masters programs will be accredited and recognized internationally as professional engineering degrees. Students graduating from these programs will be ready to work in a range of chemical and biochemical engineering industries anywhere in the world. Course structure The Bachelor of Science requires the successful completion of 24 subjects (300 points), including a major. Most students study eight subjects each year (usually four subjects in each semester) for three years full-time. The 24 subjects must comprise: 18 core science subjects (225 points) made up of At least 5 subjects (62.5 points) at level 1 (usually first year), at least 5 subjects (62.5 points) at level 2 (usually second year) and 6 subjects (75 points) at level 3 (usually third year) which includes 4 subjects of your chosen science major. 4-6 breadth subjects (50-75 points) With at least 1 subject at both level 2 and level 3. And up to 2 elective subjects (25 points) either science subjects or breadth subjects at level 1, 2 or 3. Career outcomes The Bachelor of Science is a great first step towards your dream career. Whether you have specific goals in mind or you're exploring your options, we are here to support you. During your three years in the Bachelor of Science, you will have multiple opportunities to engage with industry and explore career paths that suit your skills and interests. You'll join a group of committed students and from day one you can study towards a career in engineering, climatology, medicine, veterinary medicine, nanoscience, psychology or dozens of other specialty areas.
