Overview
Postgraduate students in Chemical and Materials Engineering gain a deeper understanding of how things work, with the potential to develop new technologies. Areas of interest include:
- Advanced and nanomaterials research, which involves in-depth studies into properties, performance, processing, microstructure, and industrial applications
- Chemical and process engineering, including aluminium smelting technology, heat exchange, iron and steel making, food processing, high-pressure sterilisation, and more
- Energy and the environment, including biodiesel, oil and gas processing, thermal management, air flow and heat transfer, and clean technologies
- Food and bioproduct processing, with a focus on value-added food products and cost-effective technologies
Career
An Master of Engineering (Chemical and Materials Engineering) degree from University of Auckland confirms your ability to investigate an important issue with research expertise, work with initiative, make sound judgements, draw conclusions and write a thesis to explain your arguments.
