Program Outline
This double degree program provides students with the flexibility to study Chemical Engineering and a range of mathematics, statistics and computer science courses. This program will consist of courses in Chemical Engineering which is involved in the systematic design, development and operation of process systems for the extraction, transformation and recovery of materials. It is a key engineering discipline, which combines knowledge of basic chemistry and mathematics with engineering principles and real world economic considerations. The scale of operation varies from small to very large, and a principal feature of chemical engineering is the translation of laboratory-scale research results to large-scale commercial production. Chemical Engineering is the discipline which sustains and improves a range of industries as diverse as food processing, petrochemicals, ceramics, petroleum refining, primary metals, plastics, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, glass and specialty chemicals.
Students may choose to combine Chemical Engineering with Mathematical and Computer Sciences as it will strengthen their skills in mathematics, statistics and computing. Combining this engineering program with a strong mathematics program such as this, will provide an opportunity for research and enhanced employment prospects.

Selection Criteria
Year 12 applicants
You must not have completed more than 4 years full time equivalent university study (96 units). You compete for a place with your Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER).
Prerequisites
SACE Stage 2: Mathematical Studies, Physics plus one of Specialist Mathematics or Chemistry
IB: either Mathematics (HL grade 4) and Physics (SL grade 5/HL grade 4); or, Chemistry (SL grade 5/HL grade 4), Physics (SL grade 5/HL grade 4) & Mathematics (SL grade 5/HL grade 3) Midyear applicants must also have completed SACE Stage 2 Specialist Mathematics, or Mathematics 1MA (or equivalent) to allow enrolment in Mathematics 1A in Semester 2. To ensure that you meet the entry requirements, contact the Student Centre.

SACE Stage 2 Chemistry
Alternative entry pathways
- Higher Education applicants
You must have completed at least half a year full time equivalent higher education study. A Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated for each separate program you have undertaken (apart from some double degree programs where the GPA is combined). You compete on the basis of your best GPA.
- VET applicants
You must have completed an AQF Diploma or above. Your application will be ranked according to the level of the award.
- Special Entry applicants
You must meet the following criteria: you must be 21 years or over on January 1st of the year that you will be studying*, you must not hold a completed higher education level award, and if you have been enrolled in a course leading to a higher education level award in the last 3 years, you must not have completed more than 2 years full time equivalent university study. If you meet this criteria, you will be ranked according to your result in the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT). Your STAT result is weighted such that the verbal component contributes 35% and the quantitative component contributes 65% to your overall score. Personal Competencies (PC) and Employment Experience (EE) statements may also contribute to your rank. If you submit a PC or EE statement, and one of these ranks higher than your STAT score, then the highest ranking statement will contribute 50% to your overall rank and the STAT will contribute the remaining 50%. If you do not submit a PC or EE statement, or if the statements have a lower rank than the STAT, then you will compete for a place on the basis of your STAT result only. *The age restriction is 19 years or over if you have completed either the Flinders Foundation course or the UniSA Foundation Studies program or the UniSA Program for Adult Learners. Indigenous applicants may be eligible for entry through the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Access Scheme. See Wilto Yerlo for further information.
