| Degree/Award: | Double Degree |
Through this double degree program graduates can combine the concepts of chemical engineering with economics enabling them to confront challenging and exciting careers. Chemical Engineering 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.
The study of economics at the University of Adelaide will help you understand how a market economy works. It will also help you to develop other important employment skills - critical and logical thinking, evaluation of argument and evidence, knowing where and how to find information, working with initiative and in teams, and communicating both orally and in writing. These are the skills that employers constantly say they look for in graduates.
