Diploma of Engineering (Chemical Engineering)

The Diploma of Engineering at Curtin College is a structured pathway that enables students to begin their engineering studies in a supportive, smaller-class environment before moving directly into the second year of Curtin University’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). Designed for students aiming to specialise in areas such as Chemical Engineering, the program blends foundational science and mathematics with core engineering principles, including subjects in physics, chemistry, programming, design and materials. Delivered over two stages, it equips students with the analytical, technical and communication skills needed for university-level engineering while providing access to Curtin’s facilities and academic support services. Upon successful completion, graduates are guaranteed entry into the second year of their chosen major at Curtin University—allowing them to progress seamlessly into the Chemical Engineering stream and build the knowledge, laboratory experience and problem-solving abilities required for careers in industries ranging from energy and resources to food and pharmaceuticals.
