Course Overview
Chemical engineers play a crucial role in making clean energy, reducing waste, creating eco-friendly chemicals, ensuring clean water, as well as developing formulation and processing of drugs and medicines. Their diverse contributions safeguard our environment and make significant strides in addressing global challenges such as poverty and disease.
In this multidisciplinary field of mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and engineering, you'll discover how raw materials are processed to create the products used in our daily lives. These include fuels, paints, biodegradable plastics, medicines, cosmetics, personal care products, food, water, and many others. Your education goes beyond classrooms and laboratories. You'll also undergo work-based learning in our state-of-the-art facilities to acquire a range of scientific and engineering skills and a six-month internship to apply your knowledge and skills in the industry.
In Year 3, choose your specialisation in Applied Chemistry, Sustainable Energy & Chemical Production, Pharmaceuticals & Biologics Manufacturing, Semiconductor Technology or Technical Sales & Marketing. In addition, you have the option to join the University Pathway Programme (SUTD), which allows you to take university modules during your final year and gain conditional admission into Singapore University of Technology and Design, shortening the time needed to get your degree. The holistic training in this course will enable you to embark on a rewarding career in many growing sectors, including petrochemical, speciality chemical, pharmaceutical, energy, semiconductor, environment and water industries.
