Chemical with Business

Overview

This course is discontinued and is no longer available for admissions.

Chemical engineers develop, design and implement processes through which raw materials are converted by physical, chemical or biological processes into more valuable products such as petrochemicals, fertilisers, paints and detergents. Chemical engineers also work to process waste products to safer, more environmentally-friendly materials.

Career opportunities are extensive and include the fields of environmental consulting, minerals processing, materials, and food, pharmaceutical and chemical manufacture. Business skills open up additional opportunities in management, finance, marketing and government.
