^ The indicative annual tuition fee is based on a full-time student enrolment load of 48 credit points per year, or 1.0 Equivalent Full-Time Student Load (1.0 EFTSL). Tuition fees are reviewed annually and may increase each year. Tuition fees are calculated on a student’s exact enrolment. UNSW students enrolled in most courses have some flexibility in the subjects they choose. At times these subjects will be from outside their own faculty. For example, a Commerce student may choose elective subjects from a range of other faculties; a student in a combined Law degree with Engineering or Science will choose subjects from Science and Engineering and subjects from Law. These choices may result in a higher or lower total fee for the year.
About
If you have a keen interest in materials science and engineering as well as chemical engineering, this double degree is ideal for you. Materials engineers explore the science behind high-performance materials like metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, nanomaterials, and biomaterials. On the other hand, chemical engineers focus on transforming raw materials into useful products like fertilisers, drugs, plastics, paper, paint, and food.
By studying both degrees, you'll gain a solid foundation in theory and practical skills that will place you at the forefront of development and innovation in these fields. Hence, this double degree opens up exciting career opportunities where you can make a positive impact on industries and society. You'll have the chance to contribute to cutting-edge advancements in materials and chemical engineering, working on projects that shape the world around us.
On completion of this five-year program, you'll earn two separate degrees: a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Science and Engineering and a Bachelor of Engineering Science in Chemical Engineering.
