Course structure
The Master of Chemical Engineering is a three year degree (full time) and requires the successful completion of 300 credit points.
To obtain the degree (standard option) students must complete:
- 200 credit points of compulsory subjects
- 37.5 credit points of Chemical Engineering selectives
- 62.5 credit points of electives including
- a minimum of 37.5 credit points of Chemical Engineering electives
To obtain the degree with a specialisation, students must complete:
- 200 credit points of compulsory subjects
- 37.5 credit points of core specialisation subjects
- 37.5 credit points of Chemical Engineering selectives
- 25 credit points of electives
Note: Students entering the course with advanced standing who plan on completing a specialisation may need to enrol in core specialisation subjects in their commencing semester. Please check and follow the structure outlined for your intended specialisation and seek course planning advice.
Year 1:
- 87.5 credit points of Year 1 compulsory subjects
- 12.5 credit points of Year 1 Chemical Engineering selectives
Year 2:
- 62.5 credit points of Year 2 compulsory subjects
- 37.5 credit points of electives or 37.5 credit points of Year 2 core specialisation subjects
Year 3:
- 50 credit points of Year 3 compulsory subjects
- 25 credit points of Year 3 Chemical Engineering selectives
- 25 credit points of electives
Progression: The core subject lists are divided into specific year levels, reflecting the recommended order of completing the course. There is, however, some flexibility between Year 2 and 3 core subjects, depending on the requisites set between them. Check the individual Handbook entries of these subjects for more detail.
