A four-year undergraduate chemical engineering degree is offered which prepares graduates for careers in the chemical, metallurgical, biotechnical and process industries. The degree focuses on the development of technical expertise, problem-solving, teamwork and communication skills, and is accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa.
There is an opportunity to stream the degree programme with a strong flavour in either minerals processing, bioprocess engineering, catalytic processing, process modelling, or environmental process engineering.
Practical training in the operation of the laboratory and pilot-scale equipment is given during the second and third years, while the fourth-year research project emphasises chemical engineering fundamentals. Chemical Engineering Design is addressed in all years of study, culminating in an integrated plant design in the final year.
