e Faculty of engineering & the Built environment
The Faculty of Engineering & the Built Environment enjoys an outstanding reputation for its high quality graduates. Not only are we proud to be increasing the number of black engineers and built environment specialists, but we are also proud to record increasing numbers of female students who are choosing to pursue careers in engineering. Researchers in Engineering & the Built Environment are regularly commissioned by industry to conduct research and through these partnerships the Faculty earns signi cant funding for the University.
The Faculty enjoys an excellent international reputation for its work in a number of areas. For example, it has taken on the research challenges of environment-friendly technologies and has won international status for its multi-disciplinary research into areas such as minerals processing and energy.
Architectural Studies
A general, design-based rst degree, the Bachelor of Architectural Studies (BAS) focuses on the design of the built environment and architectural design. This degree equips students with the ability to solve design problems imaginatively, to think rationally and to
exercise appropriate judgement within the discipline of architecture. In particular it aims to develop the capacity to design appropriately within the built and natural environment. The three-year BAS degree provides the grounding for application for entry into the BAS Honours and professional postgraduate degrees leading to careers in architecture, landscape architecture, urban and regional planning, urban design, transport engineering and housing. All applicants for the BAS degree must complete a portfolio of prescribed creative exercises.
Chemical Engineering
Chemical Engineering represents a synthesis of chemistry, physics and mathematics applied to real problems which affect our everyday lives. We have reached a point where society must contend with fundamental changes in the availability of some of the most important resources on this planet: energy, food, essential minerals and the global environment. Technological solutions for many of these problems fall within the domain of the chemical engineer. To become a chemical engineer takes four years of academic study complemented by exposure to the process industries.
