This dual degree program merges chemical engineering with pharmaceutical science, offering a distinctive educational path that's uncommon in Australia and globally scarce. While chemical engineers excel at designing, operating, and optimizing production systems, their education often doesn't include expertise in creating pharmaceutical and related products. Conversely, formulation scientists possess the ability to create and evaluate new products like medicines, foods, and cosmetics, but typically don't have the training to oversee production beyond lab-scale. This combined program develops professionals who can oversee the entire pharmaceutical product lifecycle from conception to manufacturing. Graduates earn two distinct qualifications: the Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours) and the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science. You'll receive all the advantages of both degree programs (refer to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science) and be thoroughly prepared for careers in either field or a combination of both.
At the time of enrolment in a course at Monash University, you must be at least 17 years of age.
