Ever wondered how petroleum or minerals are produced? As a Chemical Engineering graduate, you will know the answer.

You will be trained to convert raw materials into high value products using processing and design principles, for example – producing liquid fuels from crude oil, and manufacturing chemicals, explosives, fertilisers, and plastics – to mention just a few.
