Chemical Engineering

The Department of Chemical Engineering aims to help students apply the fundamentals of this discipline to the synthesis and analysis of processes in both traditional chemical engineering industries as well as emerging disciplines (such as biotechnology, environmental engineering, etc.). Department courses offer a comprehensive insight into the intricate details of chemical processes, while also educating students about management techniques that optimise use of resources to enhance operational efficiencies. Annual intake of this Department is reserved to 60 students.
