About this program

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical) with Bachelor of Finance and Banking at Adelaide University links chemical engineering with financial and banking expertise. Students study both the scientific principles behind chemical processes and reaction systems, and develop an understanding of core business topics like risk management, investment, and financial markets. The chemical engineering curriculum covers areas such as process design, materials science, thermodynamics, and safety systems. Alongside these, topics in banking, corporate finance, and asset management are tackled within the finance degree.

Australian bachelor degrees like this are usually structured with semesters, and students enrol in units of study totalling a set number of credit points each year. This double degree runs for five years when studied full time. The honours component recognises academic achievement and usually involves advanced topics, with a significant portion of the final year dedicated to a research capstone or project. Chemical engineering degrees in Australia often include practical workshops, site visits, and work-integrated learning, students may undertake placements in industry to gain real experience working on engineering projects or within financial institutions.

Graduates build skills in chemical process design, plant operation, and safety assessment, as well as quantitative analysis, financial modelling, and economic evaluation. The blend of technical and business capabilities suits those interested in analytical roles, process optimisation, or decision-making at the interface of engineering and finance. This degree suits students who are problem-solvers, interested in how chemical industries operate, and want to understand financial systems.
