Chemical Engineering is about the design, operation and optimisation of safe, environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient processes which convert raw materials to the useful products which we rely on in our everyday lives.

Future Careers

Chemical Engineers have a wide choice of potential careers. They can be found working in a large variety of industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, energy, water, food & drink and fast-moving consumer goods, to name but a few. In Brunei Darussalam, with a degree in Chemical Engineering, your career would most likely be in – but is not limited to – oil and gas downstream sector. This is becoming an increasingly important growth area within the country’s economy, and Chemical Engineering graduates should find themselves well placed amongst their peers to secure a job upon graduation.
