Bachelor of Chemical Engineering with Honours

Chemical Engineering is a dynamic discipline focused on designing, developing, and optimizing processes that produce, transform, or transport materials and products. By blending natural, experimental, and life sciences with mathematics and economics, chemical engineers tackle complex challenges in safety, efficiency, and sustainability. They play a crucial role in pioneering new materials and technologies, designing equipment for chemical manufacturing, and managing industrial processes that convert raw materials into essential products.

With expertise in areas such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, reaction kinetics, and process design, chemical engineers address critical global challenges in energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and environmental sustainability. Career opportunities span a wide range of industries, including petroleum refining, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and environmental engineering. The Sunway University Bachelor of Chemical Engineering with Honours (BEng Hons) degree is recognised as equivalent to Lancaster University's Master of Engineering Chemical Engineering with Honours (MEng Hons) degree. Graduates earn dual certification from both institutions, enhancing their credentials and expanding their global career prospects.

Additional Requirements for Certain International Students

International students from certain countries that want to take some Sunway University degree programmes (for example programmes in partnership with Lancaster University) will need to take and pass our online six-month International Preparatory Programme (IPP). This is a requirement to enroll in a Sunway degree programme that also leads to a degree certificate being awarded by Sunway’s partner institution. Students are required to pass all the subjects with a grade C or above to progress to the degree.

English Language Requirements

• IELTS or equivalent 6.0 or equivalent
• MUET Band 4
• SPM English B+
• UEC English B3
• O-Level English (1119) B3
• Sunway Intensive English Programme (IEP) Pass Level 4 with minimum 65%
• ESL/English Satisfactory level at Pre-University programmes with English as the medium of instruction.
• Additional requirements for Malaysian students entering using an entry qualification whereby the medium of instruction is not in English, MQA requires the student to possess a MUET or an international English proficiency qualification in order to register for the Engineering programmes.
