The professors at UNSW invited me to get involved in their cutting-edge research, an amazing opportunity to work on the development of cool, new nanoparticles for cancer treatment.

UNSW Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical) studies the conversion of raw materials into useful and marketable products like fuels, foods, wine, polymers and pharmaceuticals. The degree is supplemented with key training in management, quality control, critical analysis and economics.
Over the four years, students will learn to design and develop chemical processes and equipment and look into environmental issues and pollution control. It involves controlling and optimising the systems and equipment used in chemical, industrial, biological and environmental processes. UNSW students are strategists and operation managers, taking projects through from inception to actionable information and execution.
UNSW Engineering has close links to key figures and companies in the engineering industry. All our students undertake industrial training for 60-80 days, as part of their undergraduate degrees. This means that students graduate with first-hand experience in a professional organisation while being exposed to a range of networking opportunities and engineering in design, analysis, experimental and on-site activities.
UNSW Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical) is industry accredited by the IChemE (Institution of Chemical Engineers). Our chemical engineers leave UNSW with a distinguished qualification, valuable across a range of different industries such as design and construction, energy and fuels, government, law and mining.
