SITS Diet Block/TypeCPUnit of Study/Unit Block

Note:   Specialisations in the Chemical and Biomolecular (CBE) Stream

  • stream specialisation is a subset of stream electives relevant to a particular aspect of CBE, such as Chemical Engineering for the Environment.
  • breadth specialisation broadens your knowledge outside the field of CBE, in areas such as Engineering Data Science.


You have 3 specialisation options to choose from in the CBE Stream:
  • Foundation electives [12 cp] + Stream electives [24 cp] + stream or free elective [6cp] (no specialisation option) or
  • 1 stream specialisation [24cp] + Foundation electives [12 cp] + stream or free elective [6cp] or
  • Engineering Data Science specialisation [24cp] + stream electives [18cp]


NOTE: This enrolment structure is for students who commence their degree in Semester 1 (February). If you began your degree in Semester 2 (July-August), please follow the Semester 2 commencing enrolment plan.
