About the course
This Master of Philosophy in Chemical Engineering is a higher degree by research focused on developing advanced disciplinary knowledge through a substantial supervised thesis. Most of the program is dedicated to independent research, with limited coursework where required, and aims to produce an original contribution to knowledge. Completion may provide a pathway to apply for entry into a PhD, with research grounded in chemical engineering. The programme applies rigorous engineering research methods to address complex technical challenges and advance sustainable innovation.
What you might learn
You will develop mastery of relevant theory and critically apply it, analyse and synthesise complex information, and generate and evaluate advanced ideas. The course builds capability to design and use appropriate research methods, communicate research to specialist and general audiences, and plan and deliver research that contributes original knowledge or professional practice. These learning outcomes are developed through supervised, thesis-based research in chemical engineering.
Career outcome
Graduates may pursue research-focused roles in chemical and process industries, energy, resources, water and environmental sectors, or continue to doctoral study. The degree supports careers involving advanced problem-solving, research design, data interpretation and technical communication, including R&D, process development and innovation roles across industry, government and research organisations. This is a master by research qualification aligned to chemical engineering practice and research. Preparing graduates for engineering innovation, industrial research, and doctoral study.
