Bachelor of Chemical Engineering with Honours

This four-year programme combines the three basic physical sciences – chemistry, physics and biology – with mathematics, which makes it one of today’s most versatile engineering fields. This allows room for specialisation in a very broad spectrum of fields, including bioprocess, petroleum refining, waste management and etc. At UCSI, students are exposed to a myriad of new technologies that are rapidly reshaping the society we live in.
