COURSE DESCRIPTION
Develop your advanced engineering skills and contribute to industry-focused research projects, identifying solutions to existing and emerging chemical engineering problems.
You can select from existing applied research projects that are well supported by industry. These projects will deliver fundamental research leading to innovative new products, processes and knowledge.
Research opportunities are in the fields of rheology, advanced and functional materials, water and wastewater, energy, complex liquid flow, microfluidics, and surface science.
You will be expertly supervised while you work on a project in one of the following areas:
anaerobic digester hydrodynamics
biochemical engineering
biodegradable polymer nanocomposites
biomass utilisation and conversion
chaos and mixing
colloids science
corrosion and materials degradation
drinking water treatment
flow process and mixer analysis of complex fluids and multiphase mixtures
life cycle analysis of processes
microfluidics
nanodroplets, nanobubbles and nanocatalysts
polymer processing
rheology of polymers and sludge
surface science
water quality and wastewater treatment
This masters degree may be undertaken in a project, thesis with publication or thesis mode. Prospective candidates should discuss these modes of submission with their potential supervisor.
Career
A masters degree will provide you with a foundation for further studies into a PhD and employment in senior leadership and management research-based positions in a variety of government, non-government and corporate organisations.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
Since its establishment in 1887, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (RMIT) has been meeting the needs of the community surrounding it. Originally a Working Men’s College, RMIT showed its flexibility during World War Two, training over 20,000 servicemen in communications to help with the war effort.Now, it is a true pioneer in international education, championing cross-border study opportunities with campuses in various countries. Granted formal university status in 1992, RMIT is ranked 21st in the world for universities that are less than 50 years old.RMIT is the largest higher education institution in Australia, currently with more than 82,000 students. With nearly 20% of those students coming from overseas, it is a university that truly welcomes diversity and is a melting pot of different cultures. RMIT has three campuses in Vietnam, a European hub in Barcelona, an office in Indonesia, and partners with 200+ institutions in 42 countries to provide study opportunities worldwide.
