The Master of Philosophy aims to expand knowledge beyond the undergraduate honours or postgraduate diploma level, culminating in a research thesis. Upon completion of a master by research degree, you may apply to be considered for entry into a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program.
Chemical engineering uses chemistry, physics and mathematics to convert raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms; and extractive metallurgy is involved in plant design, development, operations and control, management and research.
With a focus on product design and development, Chemical Product Engineering is the new frontier for chemical engineers and its relevance is almost unlimited among both industrial and scientific communities.
As a doctoral research degree candidate, you will uncover new knowledge either by the discovery of new facts, the formulation of theories or the innovative reinterpretation of known data and established ideas.
Chemical engineering uses chemistry, physics and mathematics to convert raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. A great variety of process industries serve the needs of society.
Gain the chemical engineering skills to design and implement industrial-scale processes that convert raw materials into valuable products we use every day at Australia's leading university*. Join the ranks of engineers working on cleaner biofuels, water and targeted drug delivery.
Gain a powerful skillset of chemical engineering and business at Australia's leading university*. Design the processes that convert raw materials into the valuable products we use every day. Blend your advanced chemical engineering expertise with key skills in economics, marketing and finance.
Develop specialised technical knowledge in chemical and biomolecular engineering to help you transition to an engineering career. You'll gain an advanced understanding of industrial processes in which material in bulk undergoes physical or chemical changes.
