This program extends over four years and students study full-time during the day for twenty-four weeks of each year (excluding examination and recess periods). The Director of Teaching and Learning, School of Chemical Engineering, may approve various program patterns involving full-time or part-time study.

The program structure below gives one sequence of courses that fulfills the requirements of the degree. However, many courses are offered only once per year and others have pre-requisites or exclusions which govern the order in which they can be taken. Both of these things can have a big impact on program structure if poor choices of course combinations are made. Students are strongly encouraged to consult the School website at link here for advice on course sequences that are consistent with timetabling and availability.
