Engineering (Materials Science & Engineering) / Engineering Science, Double Degree Bachelor (Hons) / Bachelor

This double degree program enables students to earn two qualifications after five years of successful study: a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Science and Engineering and a Bachelor of Engineering Science in Chemical Engineering. It is ideal for those pursuing careers in the complementary fields of materials science and engineering, and chemical engineering. Materials engineers focus on the underlying science of high-performance materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, while chemical engineers transform raw materials into marketable products like fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, plastics, paper, paints, and food. The program provides foundational theory and practical skills, positioning graduates at the forefront of innovation and development.

Progress in sustainable food production needs engineers Learn how UNSW researchers have engineered vegan mozzarella that melts like dairy By blending plant proteins with complex carbohydrates, UNSW chemical engineers have recreated the colours, flavours and textures of traditional dairy cheese, addressing some of the shortfalls of today's plant-based products. €œColours and flavours are the easy part, but replicating the structure €” that pull of melted cheese, or the juicy mouthfeel of meat €” is the real challenge,€ says Professor Cordelia Selomulya.
