Chemical engineering science, practice, and design are combined with core management principles to give you the ability to work at all levels of industry. Many engineers quickly move into positions of management within organizations. This double degree will give you an advantage, allowing you to advance into positions of responsibility and influence. A business degree will prepare you to operate in a complex financial system - something often associated with large engineering projects. The focus of this program is on industrial application, so fundamental engineering and management courses are linked to real situations. Your chemical engineering studies will cover the application of chemical, physics and biological sciences and technology for the improvement of industrial processes. You’ll learn how to make the processing industries work more efficiently and minimize their environmental impact by using less energy and producing less waste. Management studies will provide a thorough core of knowledge related to the roles and functions of business management. Managers deal with a range of complex issues, including wider economic and social factors. As part of this program you’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees. To ensure you graduate job-ready, you’ll also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective. International student visa holders can only study full-time. Career Your degree will be recognized around the world, and many Australian companies provide the opportunity for engineers to travel. In Australia, the major areas of employment are in: chemical, petroleum and petrochemicals the food industry water environmental management and pollution control mining plastics/polymers biomaterials and diagnostic agents pharmaceuticals and vaccines cosmetics electricity and gas project design and consulting A chemical engineering graduate can work in areas from process and project engineering to marketing or research. Graduates have gone on to work at a range of organizations including: BP Cadbury Cryovac CSL CUB ExxonMobil Kraft Moldflow Rio Tinto Further study When you successfully complete this program, you may be eligible for entry into an RMIT postgraduate program or RMIT Masters by Research or Doctoral (PhD) program.
