Graduate Students: Higher Degree by Research

This Department is always seeking exceptional Masters and PhD students to join our research teams and we always welcome serious applications. 

The research activities of department are diverse, and are focussed principally around four key themes, being:

• Environmental Engineering
• Nano & Biomolecular Engineering
• Bioprocess Engineering
• Materials & Minerals Engineering

Research activities include work in the fields of non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, Extractive Metallurgy, Mineral Processing, Separation Processes, Biochemical Engineering, Polymer Science, Environmental Engineering and Chemical Engineering Education.

The Department is also home to several major research centres and units.

A number of these centres also involve cross-disciplinary activities so that students may work as part of a team that spans several disciplines. Each of these research centres has very strong industry interactions. As a result of the strong industrial connections, postgraduates leaving the Department find challenging positions in Australian and overseas industry, as well as postdoctoral opportunities both within and outside Australia.
