Chemical engineering science, practice, and design are combined with core management principles to give students the ability to work at all levels of industry.
Many engineers quickly move into positions of management within organisations. This double degree will give students an advantage, allowing them to advance into positions of responsibility and influence. A business degree will prepare students to operate in a complex financial system -- something often associated with large engineering projects.
The focus of this degree is on industrial application, so fundamental engineering and management courses are linked to real situations.
Students chemical engineering studies will cover the application of chemical, physics and biological sciences and technology to improve industrial processes. They will learn how to make the processing industries work more efficiently and minimise their environmental impact by using less energy and producing less waste.
Management studies will provide a thorough core of knowledge related to the roles and functions of business management. Managers deal with a range of complex issues, including wider economic and social factors.
As part of students studies, they will have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge -- a humanitarian-focused course offered in all Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology engineering degrees.
Students will also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective.
Please note that applicants from some countries will be required to pay a non-refundable application fee. The fee will go towards the tuition deposit for any students who enrol.
