Industrial Chemistry is a 4 year professional program that is concerned with the application of science and technology to the chemical industry.

Successful completion of the program is accepted by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and the Institution of Engineers, Australia as sufficient academic qualification for full corporate membership.

The Director of Teaching and Learning, School of Chemical Engineering , may approve various program patterns involving full-time and part-time study.

Note

Industrial Chemistry is also available as a component of dual degree programs:

The program structure below gives one sequence of courses that fulfils the requirements of the degree. The timing of the general education courses and elective courses may be modified to optimize the student's choice of courses. Students will have the option of choosing up to 18 UOC of professional electives in year 4 if first year electives are chosen to satisfy core Industrial Chemistry requirements shown in subsequent years. Recommended enrolment plans consistent with timetabling and availability can be found on the school website. While some courses are given twice a year, many courses are given only once a year. In addition, courses may have prerequisites and exclusions. Thus students should plan their enrolments carefully.

Note that one of these courses must be completed before commencing stage 2 due to the pre-requisite for CHEM2021. If not completed in semester 2 of stage 1 it must be completed in summer semester between stage 1 and stage 2 to ensure smooth progression.

Plus the following courses:

COMP1911 is an acceptable alternative for ENGG1811


Plus choose 1 Elective from the Year 1 Elective List
Electives

A suggested Year 1 elective for this program is:

Students can take the combination CHEM1011 and CHEM1021 or the combination CHEM1031 and CHEM1041 or the combination MATS1101 and CEIC1001.

Note: MATS1101 and CEIC1001 are possible, but are NOT the recommended combination for industrial chemistry students.

Not all courses are offered in both semesters but students should complete 24 UOC in each semester.

Year 2

Plus General Education (6 UOC)

Plus General Education (6 UOC)

Plus Professional Electives (12 UOC or 18UOC to make up the required total for the program depending on choices made in first year)

Students are expected to possess a calculator having exponential capabilities, however, more advanced calculators and personal computers, will be found useful. In examinations, students may be required to use calculators supplied approved by the University, so that no student will have an unfair advantage over another. Further information may be obtained from the Head of School.
