 If you've enjoyed doing experiments in chemistry and physics at school and would like to create materials for the modern world, then Chemical and Materials Engineering is the right degree choice for you. Every aspect of daily living is influenced in some way by the materials around us. Plastics, ceramics, metals, hydrocarbons and biological materials. Chemical and materials engineers can be found everywhere. Such as working with heat transfer, evaporation and drying processes relevant to the food and dairy processing sectors. Or designing piping systems, pump stations and other vital infrastructure for large companies like Becker who do this every day in New Zealand and overseas. Or reducing our hydrocarbon demands by making biofuels. And manufacture of aluminium or steel. One material engineering is the most interdisciplinary degree which will have significant impact on our life and future. You will study things like converting waste cooking oil by reacting it with methanol for the production of biodiesels or convert plastic waste that is similar to diesel. We have around 80 students per year specialising in Chemical and Materials Engineering and our small class sizes foster an interactive class spirit. The labs and facilities are second to none with a degree being unique to New Zealand with its fusion of Chemical Engineering and Materials Engineering. You'll experience an exciting and stimulating hands-on environment with access to state-of-the-art research facilities as part of your undergraduate learning. As a student you will be led by a team of passionate and industry-linked lecturers and professors with doctorates from top universities from around the world. Our degrees accredited by IPENS, the institution of professional engineers in New Zealand. So if you're up for the challenge you won't be disappointed with the opportunities this degree offers you. As a student you'll work on a project from defining the needs, designing the process to understanding how to build and operate the facility. This is what makes Chemical and Materials Engineering special. We interact with electrical, mechanical, civil and all other engineering disciplines. This degree from the University of Auckland is unique and will broaden your opportunities for employment worldwide. So the possibilities are endless. You could be creating large-scale processing plants, mitigating climate change, engineering real-time solutions for high-quality products such as foods, developing nanoparticles for medical applications. Don't miss out. Join us in achieving the amazing.
