300 credit points
The Chemical specialisation of the Master of Engineering consists of 300 points of study - 262.5 points core plus 37.5 points elective subjects.
Advanced standing will be awarded for equivalent subjects taken in prior study to applicants on the following basis:
Credit, Advanced Standing and Accelerated Entry Policy (MPF1293) https://policy.unimelb.edu.au/MPF1293
Subject Options
Total 300 points - 262.5 points core (compulsory) plus 37.5 points elective subjects from the list below. Students must complete all 300 points of subjects, including all core subjects, or have advanced standing or exemption.
The core and elective subjects are those listed below. The order of subjects below is one way of progressing through the course - students who meet subject requisites may tailor their individual study plan to take into account advanced standing and their study load. Students plan their study online and can seek further advice from Stop 1 on individual study plans.

Note:
- Students may opt to complete a second 25 point project subject to account for the 25 points in elective subjects;
- Students completing the first 100 points prior to 2013 will have taken ENGR30001 Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics instead of ENGR30002 Fluid Mechanics. Credit cannot be obtained for both subjects;
- Credit cannot be obtained for both BIEN30001 Bionanoengineering and BMEN90012 Soft Matter Engineering;
- From 2015, CHEN20010 Materials and Energy Balances and CHEN20011 Chemical Process Analysis have replaced CHEN20007 Chemical Process Analysis 1 and CHEN20008 Chemical Process Analysis 2.
