Overview

Master of Chemical Engineering

Gain the chemical engineering skills to design and implement industrial-scale processes that convert raw materials into valuable products we use daily at Australia’s leading university*. 

Join the ranks of engineers working on cleaner biofuels, water and targeted drug delivery.

Once you’ve started studying at The University of Melbourne, you can specialise in ‘Business’, ‘Materials and Minerals’ or ‘Sustainability and Environment', or continue without specialising.

Be inspired by experts in nanotechnology, carbon capture and storage and bioengineering. 

More than just teachers, your lecturers have worked on diverse projects, from bioremediation to keep Antarctica clean to cancer treatments using nanoscale targeted drug delivery.

Apply your skills in internships, industry projects, and innovation challenges with industry mentors.
