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

A stream specialisation is a subset of stream electives relevant to a particular aspect of CBE, such as Chemical Engineering for the Environment.
A 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]

Completion of a specialisation is optional. Students not wishing to complete a specialisation should select CBE Stream Electives in Sydney Student `My studies`.
