302152 v.2 Graduate Certificate in Chemical Engineering

Introduction

This course provides an advanced professional qualification for graduates in engineering or applied science disciplines (not usually for graduate chemical engineers). It is expected that prospective students are graduates with qualifications in areas related to chemical engineering intending to work in the chemical processing industries. Chemical engineering graduates, especially those with honours, should consider enrolling in the Master of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) by research.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites

A recognised degree in engineering or applied science at honours level or a recognised degree in engineering or applied science without honours but with relevant experience. Such candidates will be accepted at the discretion of the Head of Department. Candidates with an appropriate pass degree can be accepted at the discretion of the Head of Department but are required to complete up to eight full units by full-time study (or part-time equivalent).
