Engineering
Bachelor of Chemical Engineering( Honours)
KPT / JPT( R / 524 / 6 / 0045) 03 / 20- MQA / FA4650
As a chemical engineer, you will invent, develop and design processes that convert raw materials into useful products with minimal environmental impact. You are also involved with pollution control, protection of the environment and with energy conservation – critical responsibilities as populations grow and resources and energy reserves decline.
Chemical engineers are needed in a range of industries and you’ ll find work in biotechnology, chemical, energy, environmental, food, mineral, nanotechnology, oil, paper, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and more.
Accreditation
This degree is accredited by The Institution of Chemical Engineers( IChemE).
