COURSE DESCRIPTION
Chemical engineers sustain and improve industries as diverse as food processing, petrochemicals, ceramics, petroleum refining, primary metals, plastics, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, glass and specialty chemicals.
Our Graduate Diploma in Engineering (Chemical) is suited to engineering graduates and working engineers with relevant experience.
What will you do?
The program acts as a foundational year for the Master of Engineering (Chemical). It’s designed to upskill students for advanced studies and career opportunities. You will:
explore separation processes
build expertise in kinetic, reactor, simulation and concept design
study fluid and particle mechanics
develop skills for research, communication, critical thinking, business and management.
Career Readiness
Chemical engineering graduates can seek national and global careers, and may work in an office environment, the outdoors, an industrial plant or a combination of these. Some industries and careers that chemical engineers are involved in include:
biotechnology industries (e.g. biofuel production, production of nutrients from microalgae)
pharmaceutical industries (e.g. production of vaccines and antibiotics)
winemaking
food production (e.g. beer, milk, cheese)
petrochemicals (e.g. oil refining and natural gas processing)
industrial bulk chemicals industries (e.g. production of chlorine and explosives)
personal and home care products (e.g. production of detergents, soaps and cosmetics)
plastic and rubber products industries (e.g. production of polymers from raw materials such as oil or wood, production of items from polymers ranging from cling film to rainwater tanks to high performance products for building, automotive and aerospace applications)
mining and minerals processing (e.g. concentrating minerals, production of iron ore, steel, aluminium, uranium and similar from minerals)
environmental engineering (e.g. air pollution control, water and wastewater treatment, waste disposal, resource management)
semiconductors and microelectronics (e.g. production of computer memory and central processing units, flat screen televisions)
nanotechnology (e.g. production of nanoporous materials for catalysis, separations and energy storage)
management consulting (e.g. engineering business and financial management).
Potential careers
Manufacturing Engineer, Mining Engineer, Biotechnology, Biotechnology Engineer, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Food Engineer, Winery Engineer.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
The University of Adelaide unites and serves those striving to change the world—and themselves—for the better. It’s a place where history is made.Established in 1874, we’re home to over 29,000 students and 3,000 staff, all striving to create progress. For our community. For all. This is a university of outstanding quality—ranked as a top 100 global university—in the heart of the city of Adelaide.We were our country’s first university to welcome female students. The first to teach science and business. Our alumni have won Nobel Prizes, led the nation, and walked in space.
